Hours (alright, three days) before 2012, I chance upon wonderful Michael paired with deeply rich New York Cheesecake, some of the most exciting music in infinity, and a lively black kitten.

How could 2011 possibly close on a finer note?

(When I was still in high school and finally got my driver's license, I soon found the restaurant that specialized in New York cheesecake. Certainly not as inviting, Michael, as yours, but pretty damned good for high school, eh?)

Very best to you, sir!
