Nope. Was warm and cuddled up in my recliner with the dogs. Drifted off and woke up in time to see the ball drop and Mariah freezing her h**ters off. Then back to sleep. Up now reading CD. Happy New Year to all!
I've never been one to venture out on NYE, unless it was hosted at a hotel I was staying at for the night. This year, I went to bed early, as I am spending New Year's Day at CITI Field attending the NHL Winter Classic.

If you do go out how late will it be when you get home?
Happy New Year to all CD friends. Let's hope we find peace and good health and good friends in 2018.
The road risk is overstated. Cops are out in force and perceived to be so. The cold is a different story. We went with my sister-in-law and her two children (in from the Coast) to a Chinese restaurant about eight miles away. Aside from getting a bit cold (it was 10° at the time) getting into and out of the car it really wasn't bad. Well, the restaurant's restroom was poorly heated for some reason but that's another story).

We are having family over for cocktails in about an hour. At 11:30pm we will walk down to the palisades overlooking the Pacific Ocean( 2 blocks) for a gigantic fireworks display while sipping on champagne and eating our 12 grapes while wearing our yellow underwear!

Haven't gone out of New Year's Eve in many a year. Wife and I used to celebrate just fine right here at home and get to bed by about 10:00. Just another day!
There were some fireworks here at 9PM, midnight on East Coast. Then I heard some pops at midnight here when I was sleeping.
Just heard on radio and I wondered about this insanity of the NY ball drop and the thousands standing there for hrs waiting for this....this year it was 10 degrees and I wondered how the heck do people relieve themselves being out there all those hours...well on the radio there was talk about people using adult diapers during those hours... I was Never that nuts ...
And then there are the hoards of people camped out overnight for Rose parade...adult diapers again here?
Living in So. Cal over 50 yrs never had a desire to get into those crowds for this parade. TV does a great job.
