Memos to Self For next Year

1.) Try to avoid drinking an entire six-pack of Guiness in one sitting next New Year's. It's a damn fine beer, but hard on the upper level brain functions the next day.

2.) Try to avoid mixing beer and Champagne next New Year's Eve, for the same reason.

3.) Remember that post you did last week about "apparently I can't eat like I used to"? Well, apparently I can't drink like I used to, either.

4.) January 1st is the perfect day to take down Christmas decorations. Don't forget that.

5.) January 1st is also the perfect day to finish off the Christmas Cookes, the Fruitcake, and the Buche de Noel -- all the great stuff leftover from Christmas.

And the sugar rush helps with the New Year's headache, too.
