I’m in my early 60s, no grandkids, and the part about party animal was totally sarcastic. I’ll probably be in bed by 10 tonight. 😃 But on the internet, no one knows that you’re not vivacious! 😉 ---

I wound up staying up for the New Year, but didn’t watch TV (we don’t have one) so I wasn’t aware of when it turned into 2016. Happy New Year! ---

I’m going for Peking Duck with some friends, then we’re off to [dance in the new year](http://windycitysoulclub.com/). It probably won’t be too late a night, I’m finally feeling human after three days of cold & flu symptoms and don’t want to push it. Logistics are TBD, might drive. Uber and cabs promise to be irritating. ---

Looks like this year I’ll be watching the dog. I’m good with that. ---

I’m at the in laws hoping for a relatively uneventful night. Uneventful is by comparison to the past week when, within the distance I can throw a baseball from my present location, there was one armed robbery of a family member and three fatal shootings (separate events) of neighbors. ---

I usually stay home with my cats and watch the ball drop on TV, and that’s exactly what I’ll do this evening too. ---

Usually if we do anything, it’s dinner and a movie. We’ll be seeing The Hateful Eight tonight, then home to keep the dog from going apeshit when the idiots start with the the fireworks. ---
