🎉Happy new year's eve!

I haven't gone "out" for new years in quite a long time. My kid's about to be 14, so at least that long! I have been to friend's houses but no bars or restaurants or places with tickets and long lines and dancing (though I DO miss going out dancing). Tonight we're having dinner at home and seeing how long we can stay up. As I write this, I've already wished my friends abroad Happy 2026, so it's the new year somewhere.

I wish you and yours the BEST 2026, as we say farewell to the hot mess that was 2025. May your 2026 bring you joy and love and health, and all you wish for.

And if you still want to support your Chicago photographer friend:

Y'all, it's so pretty! Look at it!
