Ring in the New Year with a Little Public Nudity!!

Rachel hosted a Game Night at her house for New Year's Eve. We had a pretty good showing of people and an awesome, drunken night of fun!! I brought over a puzzle to continue my parents' New Year's tradition and was surprised that pretty much everybody chipped in. The one I brought was way too difficult and is still unfinished, plus Lisa's dog "whiny" Jack decided he liked the flavor of puzzle pieces and we are not sure how many he ended up eating. Other games throughout the night included poker, Cranium, Jenga, speed, Scene It!(TV), Drinking Roulette and a cool game that was new to me called blocko or blockus or blockazoid or something like that. I carried on another tradition that my old roomie Dan introduced me to, the lap around the block. Not just any lap though, I was in my underpants banging a wooden spoon on a sauce pan. Last time I celebrated the New Year in this manner was at my old house and it was a hit, we had a large group of guys, girls and dogs making a ruckus. This time I guess I was with a more respectable bunch and I had to make it a solo lap, they were all very amused though. I felt like Will Ferrell in that Old School scene where he tries to convince everyone to go streaking.
