Whoops, I overslept today, so here’s caption-less photos from the Phil and Karen Luciano Annual Afternoon New Year’s Eve Party at Jimmy’s Bar. And below that the MBIP Year in Review. So there.
Happy New Year everyone!
At the end of the afternoon festivities, Jimmy introduced me to Alice and Mike. It was great to meet them and I found out that Mike sold Dan Fogelberg the infamous six pack of beer that he sang about in his song “Same Old Lang Syne!” He told me that Dan bought a six pack of Olympia beer. A nice bit of New Year’s trivia to end 2018 on!

The MBIP Year In Review
Below are links to a few highlights from each month in 2018. The year flew by and for me it included a nasty leg infection, The Marty Monologues and open heart surgery. At least it wasn’t boring. Happy New Year and let’s see what 2019 brings!
