Unless something really bizarre happens between now and midnight, I will have made it through 2006 with no jackasses of which to speak. Yes, it’s true, there was a blip a few months back, but after giving it some thought, I’ve chosen to take him out of the running. The incident in question was so insignificant compared to last year’s stories that it really isn’t even in the same ballpark, plus the person responsible for said incident was quite non-jackassish in general. So, I apologize, dear readers, for the lack of entertainment value, but I have to admit that I’m quite pleased. It probably helped that I was dating someone for the first five months of the year. Anyway, here’s to hoping that 2007 will also be jackass-free for me as well as for all of you. In the meantime, if you have your own 2006 jackass stories to share, by all means do.
I’m off to a "make-and-take" hors d’oeuvres cooking class with Mom and Stephen, which I will bring to my dinner party tonight to serve as an intro to beef tenderloin and truffled mashed potatoes. Have a happy new year, everyone! See you in 2007.
