it doesn\u2019t get better than this. we\u2019re sitting here in the lobby of the holiday inn, about to go have some dinner.<\/p>\n
kevin and the band are setting up in the milk barn down near hamel, illinois (i\u2019d never heard of hamel illinois) but they\u2019re having sound issues so it\u2019s hard to say when they\u2019ll be back here at the hotel.<\/p>\n
so we\u2019ll go eat without them. but at least we have a plan. and then later, we\u2019ll all go down to the milk barn and listen to the band and eat and drink yet some more.<\/p>\n
it\u2019s snowing up in springfield; i saw a picture on tv, and mom got a report from dad.<\/p>\n
randy and mom and i swam a little in the pool here, but then a bunch of kids showed up so we left. there seem to be hundreds of kids running around all over the place here. one of them was very excited to find a hotel luggage cart.<\/p>\n
like i said, it doesn\u2019t get better than this.<\/p>\n
but yet i feel that it might be one of my best new year\u2019s eves. i don\u2019t have to perform tonight, for one thing, so that\u2019s good, no pressure. and i think we\u2019ll have fun. plus i got a nap earlier.<\/p>\n
and then, soon, it will be 2008, and eight is my favorite number.<\/p>\n
so, good, it\u2019s all good.<\/p>\n
happy new year…<\/p>\n
