Quiet day, still have a cold but seem to be feeling a bit better. K and I started New Year's Eve playing Monopoly while watching "Ocean's Eleven" for the umpty-umpth time (there was a while on HBO or Showtime that it was playing every day and I think I saw at least an hour of it every time it was on). Two-player Monopoly is boring, though, so we scrapped the game in progress in favor of Uno (for the record, though, I was winning at Monopoly - although his landing in jail 6 times in a row probably had more to do with it than any 'skill' on my part) (oh, and I won Uno) (not that it matters) (oh yes it does!), until it was time to watch something symbolic drop from somewhere worthy of note.
Instead, on KRON-4, we saw scenes from a very uncrowded Palace Hotel in San Francisco, and from a very crowded and rowdy-looking Teatro Zinzanni show. We stepped outside the front door to wish our neighbors a happy new year, heard some parties going on in the neighborhood, then came back in to the warm and watched some of the SF fireworks on TV (not recommended - go see them in person whenever possible) for a short while, but quickly changed channels and caught an episode of the Twilight Zone.
Woke up late this morning, took a walk, did some work, knit a little, coughed a lot... a very relaxing way to start 2008. Hope it's a great one for everyone.
