New Years Eve, baby........

Well, The holidays are almost over, and I discovered that I will post only weekly, unless something extraordinary happens. I have too much going on right now to post each day. My Secret Santa gift came Monday, and it was really cool. It is a book written by Richard Osterlind,and it has some excellent tips and instructions on performing real magic. I devoured the book, and it will be a re-read definately. Monday I also placed a large order at the SpookClub for some books and a utility, and a gimmick. Lately I have really gotten the bug for really honing out a performance, by linking tricks and creating a storyline to go along with it. That in my opinion is where the true magic is, if you just do a trick, it is just that, a trick. Should you perform a routine that includes tricks, well my friend, I believe that is magic.
Well, on the personal front, we celebrated at my parents house on Christmas eve, and Shell's parents on Christmas day. Christmas as a whole was good for our family, we were wiped out though. I hate to say but it seemed to pale in comparison to the anticipation for DisneyWorld. We will be going there on the 16th next month. I plan on Gigi, Shell and myself to have a great time. My mother-in-law is going with us, as well as her brother his wife and their daughter, who is close to Gigi's age.
As I sit here, it is New Years eve, and I just returned from buying fireworks and board games. We are going to be celebrating by ourselves tonite, and with friends tomorrow. Lance and Kristen will be coming over, and they are great. Lance and I seem to hit it off, and his wife is just as sweet a person as you will ever meet. We are going to grill steaks, and shoot off the fireworks,(not simutaneously though). Gigi loves to watch fireworks, but hey who doesn't, and the little pyromaniac inside me love shooting them off.
This afternoon, I finally got Gigi's computer set up in her room, she is real pleased, so of course, that pleases me. Shell has already taken all the decorations down in the house, that was a chore, but it is nice to see things back to normal. Tonight I have decided to make no New Years resolutions, as I have rarely upheld the last four years worth. You see, I didn't come through with the millionaire thing, nor the loose weight thing,(actually gained a little), etc, etc, etc,.........
Well, I am being requested by the Queen to play CLUE Simpson style ;)
'till next time, peace love and tight bearhugs......
