Ironically, as one of the more introverted list members, I would normally spend NYE at home. But a few years ago our street gained an gregarious young couple who invite their family and all the neighbors over each year.
So my wife and I spent the first three hours of the evening nibbling fabulous food -- we contributed crockpot chili -- drank some red wine, and caught up on neighborhood gossip. Then we went home and were in bed by ten o'clock. :) The whole midnight thing is a big yawn for me. On Fri, Jan 1, 2016 at 8:40 AM, Daniel J.
