New Year's Eve with friends
Wishing you all the best in 2006!
2005 was a busy year for me from July on, as I found myself managing a large project way out in New Jersey. The commute was a killer-- two hours each way-- and as you might imagine, I found very little time do anything but work, eat and sleep. The project is winding down now and I only have to go in a few days a week. Unfortunately, no good deed goes unpunished and I did a good enough job that I've been assigned a new larger project for the same company in the same location starting January 23. Ah well.
Christmas in Arizona with Mom and Dad was a welcome break, indeed. Jack and the girls and I flew out of cold and rainy NYC to arrive in warm (hot, even!) Pheonix on the 22nd of December. We grabbed our rental car and marveled, as we always do, at the desert during our drive to Green Valley. Mom and Dad had told us it would be warm, but it was very hard to imagine after three unseasonably early snowstorm in New York. The visit was a pure pleasure-- the girls got to swim and sun, Jack and I got to relax, Mom and I cooked up a storm, and all of us played cards in the traditional vicious Fisher fashion.
In keeping with the trend for Christmas in sunny climes, Ben and his lovely girlfriend, Grace, opted for a trip to Guatemala. They return today and I look forward to hearing about the trip and seeing photographs.
Looking ahead for this year, Lisa and I will be taking our first ever vacation together in February-- or at least our first without kids or other family. We'll be dividing our time between London, staying in Jack's flat, and Paris. I'm really looking forward to so much sister/best friend time with Lisa.
I hope all of you have a wonderful year.

The Christmas visit was a great pleasure for us as well, Great fun was had by all. Good conversation all around. Nora and Sophie have metamorphosed into beautiful young women. But, what's this about viciousness at cards. Surely not.
Ha! We'd all disappointed if our card games were anything less than vicious!
Well, it sounds like you all had a great time. As far as card games goes,Fisher and Logan influance. could it be anything other than visious. Yes , it would have been fun to see the card games...Have a great year Ann. Looking forward to the family reunion if it materializes. Uncle JohnJ
