Happy New Year, All!

I'm contentedly alone, already in a sweatsuit which I wear instead of PJs, and plan to spend time reading or watching two videos I borrowed from the library. At about 11:45 I'll probably turn on the TV to watch video coverage of the ball drop in Times Square. I just read that the ball drop has its roots in a nautical tradition! http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2013/12/having-a-ball-the-history-behind-american-new-years-eve-celebrations.html?utm_source
