Ungrateful guest…

While I sincerely appreciate the Kalsis’ invitation to usher in the new year in their home, between us, my extensive worldwide readership and your humble author, I feel compelled to share, at the risk of sounding unappreciative, my only complaint regarding that wonderful evening: There simply wasn’t enough good food and drink!As you can see, there were at most 20 varieties of food from virtually every continent on the planet (save Antarctica). To save our hosts any further embarrassment, I’ve withheld the pictures of the bar, where there were at most 15 kinds of drink, alcoholic and otherwise (including premium Scotch and multiple varieties of Rum and other spirits).Being a good friend, I’m hoping my honesty will result in a proper selection of food next year (for the folks who, unlike me, will probably be invited back).Luckily, there was plenty of Tequila to go around. I took it easy as the shots didn’t start flowing until will after 1:00. Next year, I’ll do my part to make sure we get the party into high (octane) gear a bit earlier.BTW, in case some folks are still punchy from too much booze and too little sleep, I’m (obviously) kidding about the food! If the Kalsis are reading this and are in desperate need of someone to help them liquidate the leftovers, you know where to find me!!!
