It's always a thrill to see the pictures of Times Square on New Year's eve after being back there in the fall of '09 when Carolyn and I went back to visit Julie and see baseball games. We walked down these very sidewalks. As much as we enjoyed it then, I'm equally pleased that we weren't there last night when this picture was taken. During the years we were back in the DC area, New Year's eve parties were very important. Even after coming back to Nebraska we generally "saw the New Year in". For the past several years we have been content to watch the ball drop in Times Square at 11:00pm our time, and go to bed. We have now reached a new level of celebrating the event. We were up early yesterday morning, had a demanding day, and didn't think we could make it to do our regular ball drop at 11:00. I mixed up a couple Pina Colada's about 9:30 and shortly before 10:00, dropped a rubber ball in our living room and we went to bed. Sometimes, "dropping the ball" is not all bad. Happy New Year!!!
