Pam, I managed to stay up until 11:00 pm at which time I watched the New Year come in on TV for all you East Coasters. I thought of you all and said a mental "Happy New Year" to each of you. At 11:15 pm I turned the light out. I thought some local celebrants would wake us up at midnight and my husband and I could exchange our usual New Years kiss, but we slept right through.
