Welcome to 2011.

Today is also the seventh day of Kwanzaa; today ‘s principle is “Imani” or “faith”:

To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

Last night, SaraRules and I had a small gathering of friends and family over for a Kwanzaa potluck dinner. The company and the food were wonderful. Wine flowed. All was well with our little corner of the world.

After dinner, SaraRules and I decided to stay in for the evening. We played a little Guitar Hero until it was time to switch over to watch the ball drop in Times Square. As poor as we thought that Dick Clark looked and sounded last year, he seems to have deteriorated even more rapidly.  I think it’s time to pass the torch to Ryan Seacrest.

Today has been good. The day started off with Chris coming over to play ‘Clix. Since the release of the DC 75th Anniversary set had new Lanterns in it, we played the Green Lantern Corps (Chris) versus the Violet Lantern Corps/Star Sapphires (me). Chris pretty much mopped the floor with me and my force, but it was fun. And, it was also fun to play a group that I’d never fielded before.

Now, we’re at the in-laws’ for football and food.  Yeah, this is a good way to start the year.

I hope that everyone has a safe and happy 2011.
Be well.

Namaste.
