I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve. Mine took an unexpected turn when yet another winter storm forced me to scrap my plans with the gang I’ve rung in every new year with since the 90′s. Luckily some friends in the area convinced me that I couldn’t sit home alone (Thanks again Tony and Joe!) and after an extremely perilous, steering-wheel-gripping drive, I made it to their house.
So how was your eve?
The girlfriend was pretty sick, so we turned down a cocktail party offer and stayed in. I ran out to get a bottle of champagne, and we did this tradition where we held $20 bills in our hands, and watched Dick Clark count down the end of ’08 as the ball dropped. That was really sad to watch, but it would seem sacrelige if anyone else did it.
Cheers, SA
Glad to hear you ventured out!
We went to Liz and Sal’s, and also watched Dick Clark warble through the ball drop. You can practically see Ryan Seacrest counting the days till that show is all his.
We did the same thing we do every year–hide under the bed.
Sonny is right; Dick Clark looked and sounded simply awful. Painful to listen to, although listen I did.
