Ring In the New
That collective groan we hear is people all over the city waking up with a raging headache this morning and resolving never to get sozzled on New Year's Eve again. As resolutions go that one's not bad, since you can wait an entire year before you break it. It's the folks who resolve not to sleep late anymore that are in trouble. I've never understood the idea of getting juiced as a way of greeting the new year. New beginnings should be fresh, filled with energy and resolve, which must be tough to do if your head throbs and your mouth tastes like the inside of an old shoe. Ah well, chacun a son gout, as they say in France, "today's celebration is tomorrow's gout."HAPPY 2008 EVERYONE!

Love it when you do a play on the text words, John C.
I saw the year end as I hope to see the new year become; reading a book, doing a puzzle, eating cake and having a glass of wine. Toasting the New Year in with my dog, Skittles by my side. A lovely, quiet but very content way to spend the time to see the new beginning arrive.
Hope everyone who comments on the site had a wonderful time over the New Year and spent it as you mean to continue.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE.
Happy New Year everyone. roger
Here's a tribute to 2007, all of it; the joy and the misery! Happy 2008!

Usually I am the only one in the house to sit up to watch the TV and see the New Year celebration in NY City.
But this year I was sound asleep by 10 PM.
Happy New Year everyone. kat
