Bringing in the New Year

The holiday season is a busy one for most. We are no exception. We have numerous social events to attend, decorations to put up, presents to wrap, and much food to prepare. In addition, it has become a tradition among our crazy band of folks to ring in the New Year with a bang. Or more specifically with fire.

You may recall our celebration last year that we titled the Pagan Purge. It was a wonderful cleansing of the negativity we all carried. In short, a tremendous experience.

This year we decided to take a different approach, one of complete silliness. After all, this year has been a strange blend of much love and much loss. So we landed on recreating the Trojan Rabbit sequence from Monty Python's movie The Holy Grail. Since then it has morphed into a mix of mythology, movies, and, more importantly, silliness.

I have decided to share this with you ahead of time, before the actual event takes place. This will allow you to get a better feel for just how we operate. We are all members of the "can do" club up here and I love it.

And so it began with yet another conversation, more than likely over some drinks between myself and Tim. This time we actually got a jump on it and the work began last week. Tim visited one morning to share his, and our friend Pete's, vision of the rabbit and asked that I send out an email invitation to folks. Here is the invite that was sent. I will post more later.
