Season’s Greetings — thought I’m a few days late for that. The holidays went by swimmingly. I dragged my New Year’s cohorts to The Mermaid Inn in the upper west side for dinner, and it was actually quite delicious. I recommend it, but the portions are on the smaller side. We did a champagne toast watching the ball drop on television, but we could see the fireworks going off in Times’ Square from the balcony, so that was funny. We never considered actually going, however, because apparently the area gets so full that they close it off by around 3:00-ish, so you’d have to wait outside for at least 9 hours (and it’s been snowing this whole weekend), so there was no way we were ever going to do that.

Christmas was spent doing hot pot at Bo’s apartment. I brought back the FIG-mas tree at work. It’s a small Christmas tree adorned with hand-drawn and colored logos of some of our main financial institutions clients. It’s also got some gold ornaments and in lieu of an angel, there’s a little lawyer finger puppet at the top. (It’s actually Franz Kafka, but it’s the closest I could get.) I would post a picture, but given our non-disclosure, I could theoretically get in trouble for disclosing who are clients are (even if it’s well known).

Overall, it’s been a fun holiday season. Going to Panama helps, haha. I’m really glad I got law school apps out of the way before it started or else it would have been significantly less fun. 2010! w00t!
