Yeah, something like that.

Heh, well, I know a number of Brits who celebrate having rid themselves 
of us, so that's fair. ;-)  As for us, we celebrated by calming cats 
during the fireworks - but the fireworks themselves have been very muted 
this year out here.

Oh, and I cooked us some *excellent* steaks.  I managed - for the first 
time - to cook medium-rare steaks instead of cooking them until they were 
charcoal.  You'd be able to see more about it in my LJ.

It's kinda ironic - I'm perfectly happy having some reheated pizza or 
canned soup, but I somehow do seem to pull together some pretty good home 
cooked food every once in a while - and I enjoy it, which just really 
surprises me.

Jim
