That's really funny David, my room-mate's last name is Sylvestre!

Happy belated New Year's to all from BC Canada.  It is almost 3 am our time now.

I threw a little house gathering this year and I was forced to think about how much I've grown.  I remember a few years back coming on Renderosity after a night of partying and starting a forum topic... you know... because I was drunk and wanted to talk... or some such thing.

Anyway, I had great responses the next morning from a number of fantastic regulars.

And here I am throwing a little shin-dig and one of my guests has had waaaaay too much to drink... poor guy.

I remember a time when I was the guy puking in someone's bathroom.  That was many years ago now... thankfully.  Still I kind of feel bad because I had an open bar and I feel I fed the poor fellow too much booze.

I've made up a bed for him and his girlfriend... they are still in the washroom attending to his horribly spinning world.

Anyway...

All the best to everyone in 2009. 

I hope this slump that has effected so many of my American friends passes soon (and in Canada we have a saying... if the USA catches a COLD, a few months later we get PNEUMONIA!)

All the best too all!
