Okay folks...the whining and kvetching can stop. The Ducks have won the Rose Bowl! The last year our young men brought home the trophy they wore leather helmets and WWI was going strong. Needless to say it's been a while.
And boy oh boy they made it a game. As Matt Brock (former Defensive Lineman for the Ducks) said on Comcast's Talkin' Ducks, "It was meat against speed and speed won." Funny how he kept referring to the Badger linemen as "The Meats." If the title fits... :)
Had a lovely Happy New Year/Go Ducks lunch with the girls. Went to Wild Duck (of course!) and had a chance to catch up and swap holiday/New Year stories. At this point, if anyone is able to stay awake past midnight, that's a highlight!
For New Year's Eve, Bruce and I watched Midnight in Paris (swoon) and sipped a lovely pink champagne. We toasted to beginnings, to hope and to the belief that 2012 will be a good year. And the movie reminded me how much I want to get back to Paris. That city holds a place in my heart like no other. There really is something magical about it. So I guess we'll just have to go!!
As I write I'm at the Cancer Center, looking over the valley and hills while my Herceptin is working it's way through my system. It's a beautiful day and filled with a sense of hope and optimism. Today is a really good day!

Lunch was fun! All of us in our Duck gear must have sent them the luck they needed for a win! Here's to a great year in 2012 filled with love, laughter and good health. Hang in there.
What a great way to kick off the New Year! I see a tradition in the making :)
