Happy New Year: 2009

A New Year’s Eve photo of the gathering crowd outside the American Airlines Center in Victory Park Plaza, Dallas, waiting for the clock to countdown to midnight and the fireworks to begin:

And a little bubbly for our own private celebration:

New Year's Eve Champagne

The Very Merry French Bread was put to good use, after all (once we cut off the inedible decorations):

I received several samples in the mail yesterday, including a bottle of Zizan from London-based Ormonde Jayne and a trio of new works from all-natural perfumer Ayala Moriel, so I’m looking forward to getting back to some testing soon, once the new year hubbub quiets down and my routine kicks back into the gear of normalcy.

I’ve missed you! I hope you had a great time in cold Canada.
