So far, so good

2005 is going pretty well so far. We didn't celebrate in the spa; we drove to an empty lot just southwest of the strip and lined up with dozens of other cars to watch the fireworks. It was a good way to see in the new year as a local.

The most notable outing on Saturday was a trip to see the movie Sideways at the Orleans movie theatre. Excellent flick. We got our tickets at Fandango for the first time. I've been aware of the ticket service for a while, but I've never gotten around to using it. It was really nice to be able to skip the line at the ticket counter.

Our major activity today was furniture shopping. We looked at leather couches, entertainment centers, coffee tables, and night stands, and we bought nothing. Now, that's my kind of shopping trip.
