Well, if you enjoy it, Bill, you sure have my blessings! ;-)

I have never have liked the standard New Years celebration thing for some reason. I've gone to a few New Years parties over the years...even some of people I really liked...and by about halfway through the evening thought "Why am I here?" I was at one party and I quietly left about 15 minutes before "the big moment" was to arrive, and walked out into a vacent lot where it was quiet and peaceful and I breathed the fresh air and looked up at the stars until "the big moment" had passed. That was nice. ;-) That's my way of observing such a time. Quietly.
