The cold northern New York weather kept the party indoors but we did not let that stop us from having a terrific tropical time. There was a bit of a damper on the evening when we had the unpleasant experience of watching Clemson lose to Auburn during overtime in the Chick-Fila Bowl at the Georgia Dome. After the game, a group of us stayed glued to ESPN due to their ringing in the New Year with “New Year No Limits” by watching Robbie Maddison attempt on the world record for the longest motorcycle jump (he did). You see, we were all astonished that ESPN had the nerve to compare the motorcycle jumper to great American athletes and exclaim that he “is not a stunt man but an athletic achiever." We apologize in advance if we have offended any fans of motorcycle jumping but we were captivated by the ridiculousness of it all, especially the slow panned shots of his fiancée watching from the stands. Watch the (un)eventful jump below...
We're excited to see what 2008 may bring and we wish all of our family and friends a wonderful new year that brings happiness and success.

Happy New Year! I hope 2008 brings you and Clay nothing but blessings!
Happy New Year to the two of you. How much did it suck to bring in the new year to a clemson lost! i was at the game, but i was over it shortly after, or at least when the auburn fans shut up. Hope all is well and I hear you may be moving back down to the raleigh area? I'm heading up there in mid february to visit clyde and gregory.
