Holiday Party

I had to miss my employer’s holiday party tonight due to the bad weather. The party was at SentryWorld in Steven’s Point. I was a little disappointed, but driving conditions were absolutely terrible. We started out for Point but quickly turned around when we realized how bad it was. It would have taken hours to get there driving ~30 mph on the highway anyway.

Oh well, perhaps next year.

New Year’s

We’re not much for partying, but we decided to go out for New Year’s with our friend Trent. I made New York Strip steaks on the grill, and we enjoyed margaritas while watching the movie, Lucky Number Slevin. We had pondered going to one of the local bars that offered an evening package, but after drinking too many margaritas we decided that wouldn’t make fiscal sense. We ended up going to The Clubhouse bar in the Paper Valley Hotel, enjoyed some spirits, darts, and some lousy complimentary champagne. After that (it was about 1:30am), we wandered around looking for another bar, but they were all too crowded for our us, so we went home and watched the movie, Meet The Fockers. We all had already seen it, which is fortunate since I fell asleep for a good portion of it.

It’s really nice having the smoking ban in Appleton. I just wish Wisconsin would pass a similar state-wide ban. It’s a shame to see what it has done to some of the local bars.

WPS Holiday Party 2006

Wanda and I attended a holiday party last night hosted by my employer at the S.C. Grand in De Pere. Dinner featured the usual entrees and was pretty good. After dinner we watched a Christmas musical written and performed by Let Me Be Frank Productions. The show was entertaining and very funny! They are an extremely talented group of people, and the singing was phenomenal. If you’re ever in the Green Bay area and want to treat yourself and significant other, consider a night of dinner theater with Frank’s.

Wedding Fun

For those of you who don’t know, Wanda and I are getting married the 4th of July of this year at Beaches Boscobel in Jamaica. We are really excited! On a related note, we had Kevin’s bachelor party last night. A good time was had by all – especially Kevin. One more week until his wedding!
