Anyway, possibly the most memorable New Year&#8217;s Eve I&#8217;ve had in                 a few years, and a promising beginning to 2005. I&#8217;ve made the                 usual round of resolutions (maintaining vegequarianism not one                 of them, as I failed miserably at that in December about five                 times), including: learning guitar, becoming a volunteer DJ on                 KBCS, and pledging to visit New York City, Chicago, Charlotte,                 Vancouver, San Francisco, and London. There&#8217;s also this tribute                 CD I want to finish before what would have been my Dad&#8217;s 60th                 birthday on May 24th, and at the very least, that IS going to                 happen. And eating better &#8212; a delivery service that goes beyond                 Pioneer Organics, and actually takes the time to make the meals                 with all-organic and sustainably-sourced ingredients: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious-planet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Delicious                 Planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=https:\/\/www.mortie.net\/journal\/index.php\/2005\/01\/01\/champagne-and-marshmallow-dreams\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\">Share on Facebook<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While there&#8217;s a silent and noble thing about watching Regis Philbin ring in the New Year, there&#8217;s an even more silent and noble thing: carrying a clawfoot bathtub filled with champagne and marshmallows from one New Year&#8217;s Eve party to another&#8230; if only the second party had been appreciative of such a gesture.
