We brought in the new year at Ocean Shores this year.  Very, very quietly.  It was perfect. We went to the shore early in the day to watch the throngs of people freeze their fingers trying to catch the elusive razor clam.   Then we had an early dinner at Galway Bay Irish Pub (before Ockham’s Razor hit the stage).  Yes, in fact, we did eat too much soda bread.  Then back to the cottage where three out of the four of us managed to stay awake to welcome in the new year.

Happy New Year to all my friends and family.
