The cost of NYC New Year's Eve celebrations........

[Ultralight]

Gotta appreciate the baes out there! Happy New Year!

I'm spending the evening at home with BBC Radio online or the local radio station I like that does a nice NYE show. Probably do some reading. Already heard London ring in the New Year with Big Ben. I'll probably be asleep before midnight local time. I'm planning on being in the pool at 8 am for my laps, and at a friend's open house later in the day.

Excellent plans!

I did Times Square one time when I first moved there. It was worth doing once. I'd never do it again though. Like Cathy mentioned, there's no restrooms. And you can't go anywhere for hours. And the year I went it wasn't even that cold. I can only imagine what it was like last night.

It sounds totally miserable to me. It would be a way for someone to punish me. Make me go there instead of to jail for a night.

Rest of the evening's tally:

One car crash, alcohol-involved, airlift required.

One little old lady at home with a walker-related trip-and-fall, fixed walker and made her tea.

We wound up going to a fairly new great farm-to-table restaurant in Princeton. Sat at the bar to eat (hard to get reservations last minute) and chatted up a few really nice folks. Dinner was excellent.

Then home to watch a painful hour of Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen. Never thought I'd want to see Kathy Griffin, but I was bored beyond tears but vigilant about falling asleep, waiting for the ball to drop. Danced with DH to Imagine, called the kids/they called us. Nice evening. But if DS wasn't there, I would have dreamed my way through the ball drop.

WE usually invite 2 couples over for dinner and cards. But this year we are getting ready to go out of town for my DIL's surgery.

I hope all goes well with her surgery and your trip there.

Hope #1 is okay and learned his/her lesson
#2.....awww.....so sweet of you to fix her walker and make her tea! I'm sure she really appreciated that!

I suspect they will, once the Sheriff and Prosecutor are done with them :-(
