The New Years fun has begun.  Michael had a couple of friends who threw an engagement party at a club called HK (short for Hells Kitchen) and I had a blast.  Why you ask? OPEN FREE BAR!!! I didn't have to drive last night and I made sure to take FULL ADVANTAGE of it.  I represented for my girl Amy and had 5 Vodka Red Bulls then I Rum and Coke and 3 shots of Petrone.  The highlight of the night for me was Rick having 3 shots of Petrone w/Michael and I . Rick who doesn't drink and regularly lets me know he HATES the taste of alcohol out of nowhere asking for a shot was topped by the look on his face after he drank it.  10 minutes later while talking to Michael (who speaks English and Spanish) Rick lost his train of thought and almost started talking to him in spanish for no reason.  I LOVE IT!  Rick is letting go and we still have 4 more days to go.  Stay tuned kiddies.
