Hope your husband's calf feels better, Karen. Pulls just aren't fun.
Rita - we don't stay up to see in the new year either.
The best New Year's Eve for us was when I won a trip to Pasadena, the parade and football game, etc. We were back at the hotel before 9 PM since we had to be on the bus to go to the parade by 6 AM. Close to 9 PM we heard the commotion from the bar and saw the ball dropping in Times Square. What a delightful way to start the day and celebrate our 14th anniversary.
