Another one behind us. I don't think anyone will miss 2010; It was a tough one. This economy can't last like this forever, so maybe 2011 will be the new beginning. I know I'll be working my own business to make it so. I've always been pretty ambivalent about New Year's. Since I don't drink, I don't party much, and since it will be around for a year, I don't need to stay up for fear of missing it. I did wake up for it this year however as our enlightened state legislators recently deemed it a good and necessary thing to legalize fireworks, which the populace has embraced. I was therefore awakened at about 11:45 to the sound of fireworks (or perhaps gunshots). Apparently the New Year arrives at a different time depending on which block you live in here, as it started at 11:45 or so and lasted until 12:30. Oh well, I certainly don't begrudge the revelers. I used to have that kind of energy, but as I recently heard on a Thomas F. Wilson (comedian and actor from Back to the Future) song, "I'm over 40, and I don't care."
Happy New Year.
