Another New Years Eve, another party. A few pics:
A tasty spread.
I was going to dress down this time, but Carrie’s fancy black dress forced me to re-attire.
The highlight of the night was a co-ed putting contest …
that Reese (shown here with her partner Tom) starred in …
and Mommy and Norman won.
The Cheuks.
The Joffes, sans Aaron.
Jeffrey, Jeff, Colleen and Lilly — new friends from Chicago.
Happy New Year!

This morning the family Jenkins made it over to Alki Beach for my second straight Polar Bear Plunge. The weather was as spectacular as it was for PBP ’11, and if I’m not mistaken there were about double the number of “plungers.”
A few pics:
A little 'before' picture.
And 'after.'
Next year at least one of them may be old enough to take the plunge.
For the second straight year we ate our first meal of the year at Christo's on Alki.
Pretty sure she didn't get mixed up at the hospital.
I must have taken thirty pictures of these three and this was the only one where they were ALL looking at the camera.

Last night we have a few close friends over to celebrate the new year. Missing were Eli and Veronica, who’ve moved on to sunnier pastures in La Jolla. Still we had a great group of friends.
The downside of Eli and Veronica’s absence was that there was no one to keep us going ’til midnight. The host (me) sure didn’t have midnight in him. By 10:30 we were all in bed — the price of being forty-plus.
A few pics:
The host family, Finn protesting.
Carrie's mom Janet joined us from Corvallis.
The next generation.
Unfortunately Finn's look is getting familiar.
What Ollie said ...
In the evening's most memorable moment, Mo LITERALLY laid one on Isabel later that night.
Gettin' ready to call it a night.

I have never been a big New Year’s Eve guy. I think the last time I made it to midnight was 1999.
Once every eleven years ain’t bad.
Last night the Moellers and their friends Georgio and Beatrice from Rome joined Benezra, Ronnie and I for some New Year’s Eve festivities at casa de Jenkins. And we actually made it to 1:30 am.
A few pics:
Our house doesn't lack for space -- still we cram into the kitchen.
Georgio, Beatrice and Victoria -- in from Rome.
These three were trouble all night.
Finn's New Year's resolution -- to look at the camera.
Party girls.
Debating the not-so-fine points of the death penalty.
Even Ollie made it to midnight.
Happy new year!!!
