Some of our friends (who we’re starting to refer to as our “Cheers” crew, since we always meet at the same tea/coffee shop and its a place “where everybody knows our name”) invited us out for fireworks and dinner. We were out way too late, but we had a lot of fun! We knew we were in trouble when we didn’t even leave the coffee shop until midnight.

At the tea bar with our “Cheers” crew. Clockwise from left…I play Woody, then Frazier, Norm, Sam (he owns the shop), Diane (co-owner/real-life wife), and Cliff.


Then on to dinner… from top right: potatoes, mushrooms, cow throat, potato noodles, cow stomach, bone marrow, sweet garlic, tofu plate. Mmm 🙂

Surprise trip back to the tea bar after dinner (2:30am) for impromptu singing lead by a pro piano player.
The highlight reel:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
