up early to finish some work, then took Лена to the studio. went back to the prospective new apartment for one last look, and wrote up a final offer. just needs signatures on the contract and it’s ours – exciting! nice place, in a great building, cool views of the city from the 42nd floor, and right on Millennium Park. picked Лена up, then came back to our place and celebrated the new year via Skype in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and the UK. too much champagne… finally made our way to SushiSamba Rio for dinner and our own little celebration. a really, really good year…
