celebratin'?

not this year. we're having a low-key new year's eve. it's either age and/or tolerance. perhaps in our old age, we're less tolerant of celebrating the new year's w/ a bunch of strangers...downtown (for a lame fireworks show)...and in the cold. in fact, for many years, we were usually on the road for January 1st.

so...we went out yesterday and stocked up on some champagne. some for us and the neighbors. argonaut, as all other liquor stores, has various bottles of el cheapo (Andre champagne) on sale for $2.99. suckers for a bargain, we got a couple bottles of peach passion.

not bad at all. now, it's hard to stomach two glasses of this stuff, but one in lieu of dessert was okay. with a re-closeable top, looks like we'll get four more glasses out of it ;)

we also splurged and got some Segura Viudas Heredad...on sale for $15.99. like Freixenet, Segura Viudas is a Spanish champagne of high quality. you can usually get a bottle for six or seven bucks. we hadn't tried this special one before, but we liked that it was rated a 92 and had a cool bottle design. yes, that is metal on the bottom, making for a somewhat hefty bottle...a helluva way to start a bar fight!

hey, while we're waiting for all that snow to melt, head to the denver post site and play the hickenlooper snow plow game. it took me 80 hours on the first try...this game might me a good time waster for the last day of the year. go play now!

have a great new year's eve!!! don't get arrested though because i've spent all your bond money on booze and chili dogs ;)
