For the second year in a row, Tara and James trek up to Astoria for a wonderful evening of surf and turf, whiskey and international chocolate. They play "Guess the Answer" which is actually called "Time's Up," which is actually a version of "Celebrity" but in a nicely packaged unit from Barnes and Noble. Tara can never remember that it's called "Time's Up," so she renames it constantly. Favorite fake titles include: "Think Again," "You Guys Are Losers," "Get Drunk," and "Where's James?" They have decided on "Guess the Answer," which in essence, could be ANY game. And now you're thinking..."Wow, a whole paragraph devoted to this? I'm totally going to skim this blog."
Anyway, it's a great night, even though everyone is slightly horrified by the state of Dick Clark.
The next day, Tara and James make the move. Down the street. Literally. Hey it's a holiday, so why not? They moved into their old place on Halloween of 2006; they may as well keep it up. Family from all sides comes in and helps out over the beginning weeks of January and Dinah returns from the national tour of "Hair." It's great to have her back, and though she is bewildered in her new surroundings, she is able to find familiar comfort perching atop James' pillow.
Tara's brother, Jordan, visits for a weekend and rocks a gig at Failte, an Irish whiskey bar in the city...
