I can’t sleep. I’m tired, yet I also feel kind of wired (sorry for the unintentional rhyme). I can’t remember the last time I’ve been up this late. <sarcasm> Guess my age is showing…! </sarcasm>
Had a good time tonight. Rolled into Commerce around 6:30; Amy (I did not know she had a blog!), Adrian, and I went to pick up Amy’s friend Marie and then headed to Hilltop Grille for dinner. I’d never been there before; the food was great. The hostess told us we would have to wait an hour, even though we wanted to sit on the patio (it was not cold at all), but we ended up not having to wait long at all. We had a good time there, left about 9:30, and headed downtown to observe “the scene” and make snide comments about said scene. Called David (and then passed him staring into the window of an old black Cadillac on Clayton Street) and he told us he was going to be at Allgood if we wanted to join him. At first we thought we would, but we promptly became disgusted with the majority of the crowd downtown (it’s nothing against you, Dave; it’s all the other people that bothered us) so we decided to head back to Amy and Adrian’s place. Marie made hot toddies (I was going to link to a recipe, but all the recipes I found are very different from what we had, which involved spiced apple cider and some kind of obscure liquer, the name of which I’ve forgotten), and we watched the ball drop, toasted the new year and talked about how we feel good about 2005, are glad to close out 2004, and are looking forward to a fresh start and all that stuff. Then we watched Napoleon Dynamite. :) It was a good New Year’s. I’m glad I came to Commerce. Will post a picture or two tomorrow. I better try to get some sleep now, since it’s after 3:30 AM. Gah! And yes, I’ll fix the blog problem tomorrow.

A buddy of mine is the manager at Hilltop. An excellent place to eat. Probably the most dependable choice in Athens.
