I spent at least 45 minutes clicking through all the Lennon sister videos. Sure reminded me of my childhood. I spent New Years reading a book.

I loved it when I was a kid too.

My dad made sure to go to bed early and called it: “A bullshit depression-era administrative holiday.”

However, on New Year’s Eve at 12pm, he was fond of yelling “Happy Noon Year!” and then laughing at me when I said it was dumb.

Now I do that to step child….

We got 6 – 9 inches here in Hampton, NH, so we went down the road to Hagan’s Grill. They have a picture window, and we enjoyed our mahi tuna appetizer, duck medallions, strip sirlion, and creme brulee while watching the various plows, front end loaders, and graders handle the main intersection. They must have made a fortune! Round and round pushing little piles of snow for the two hours we were there (all the real work was done before we arrived). ‘Twas a dark and stormy night, nonetheless.

Happy New Year, guys!

Watching some fireworks, then staying home with the brood and having smoked salmon, brie, and other delicacies, along with a little champers.

Happy New Year, neo and all!

I plan to go drinking. Little neighborhood bar, strong sets of regulars, not too many troublemakers, and lots of good people. I’ll just try to avoid the whole “three sheets to the wind” thing. Walking home can be…adventurous under such condtions.

I understand that “three sheets to the wind” is old maritime slang for a sailing ship (three masts) out of control. Thank you, Jeapordy.

Interesting post, Neo!

Actually, you pretty much capture the arc of life. I still like staying up and watching Times Square. If folks there are happy at 19 degrees, then so am I!

Anyway, we have some London broil, baked potatoes and shrimp cocktail. Plus some nice BV cabernet. I don’t get drunk, just comfortably numb, but sober enough to make it to midnight!

Wishing you and all the neo-neo readers the best in ’09!

Staying in with friends. I’ll drink your share for you. Just don’t ask for pics. Imagine.

I am heading in shortly… my plan is to go up to a local summit tomorrow to watch the sunrise over the lake…
Happy New Year everyone!

Staying at home with the cats, brewing up some hot spiced tea, and listening to my favorite Bach CDs.

I’ll probably be trying to remember the names of the other two Lennon sisters; in addition to Diane, I recall little Janet. I doubt that I’ve given them a thought since high school.

Happy New Year, Neo.
