Someone asked how did I spend New Year's Eve. At 11:54, I was entering my apartment from work, and as I was taking off my jacket they announced the Ball drop on #WTOP radio. My celebration was a small diner, and a glass of Club Soda. Half an hour later I was in bed asleep.

Happy New Year everyone.
