With New Years Eve fast approaching what plans do you have to celebrate?
Maybe, like me it will be a quiet night watching the Twilight Zone Marathon.
Either way we expect all of you back here in one piece on New Years Day.

The wife and I will be sitting quetly watching a last Christnas chick flick until just before mudnight, then over to CNN at Times Square to watch the big ball drop.
Then begins the 2 month countdown until I hit the big 60 at the end of Feb.
Just going to chill with my wife, some good food and some very good wine.
It all depends on who wins the Cotton Bowl (Cincinnati vs. Alabama; 3:30PM) — if the Tide roll, I'll watch the Orange Bowl (Georgia vs. Michigan; 7:30PM), but if the Tide get rolled-over, then it's the "Thin Man" marathon on TCM (8PM).
I will be sleeping so I can get up at 3 to go to work. You all have one for me.
Hmmmm
I am not sure if we are doing "Dinner" on NYE or NYD if we do it NYE I will be snoozing on the couch till midnight when the wife wakes me up to drink Champagne with her LOL
If we do "Dinner" on NYD I doubt either of us will see the ball drop in an empty Time Square..
It is all about the special food nowadays, not the "Party" hehehe
Having our traditional NYE home made Chinese dinner and, if I can stay awake, will watch the ball drop in Times Square with the boss.
Lets all hope 2022 will be a better year.

Our relations have a tradition here at the ranch on the North face of Wheeler peak. You see, there is this mean Black Bear we call Ned who gives us trouble all year long. He be big and mean so knowing where his den is and since he be hibronatin we roust him and when he comes out he be so groggy we just knock him over and roll him down the mountain and then run the other way.
Maybe that's why he be so mean and ornery and of bad disposition.
I won't be participating this year so I wish the youngsters well.
A few years ago my son stopped to fill my diesel Toyota pickup with fuel. He was working in Oregon and they fill for you. He paid and made it to his girlfriends place when it finally died.
The ass hole had put regular gas in it. Fortunately I knew the owner and he paid the $300 plus to fix my truck.
Now back to New Years celebration. I'm fixing kind of a smorgasbord with the following:
Cream Cheese & Turkey Meat Rollups
Cream Cheese & Ham Rollups
Smoke Cheese Sticks
Chicken Wings in BBQ Sauce
Black Olives
Green Olives
Baby Pickles
Pickled Cucumbers
Saltine Crackers
Ritz Crackers
Sparkling Cider
Cake Roll Up
No real partying for me and Mrs. Crescent City. We will have our traditional meal of Hopping John with hog jowl, and cabbage with neck bones. Then we will probably go to the boat and watch the fireworks from the pier or the nearby lakefront park. Obligatory toasts with pier neighbors, of course but no real "party like it's 2022". We will probably be home long before midnight, having a nice double (quadruple, in yankee shots) rye oldfashioned. Then I will snore on the couch for a while and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Taking the kids and grand parents out on NYE to go clamming for cockles. Hoping to be eating some Boston style chowder and then get into bed.
We are going to set on the couch, eat tamales and black eyed peas and watch TV. We will be in bed early as usual.
New year means nothing to grumpy me. My other half wants to go out but i tell her "we have windows, use them" :)
Today is my daughter's birthday so we will go to dinner at the Japanese Steakhouse (her choice for dinner) and then home to cut the cake. Probably be asleep before the ball drops. Not much of a party animal anymore. I got that way out of my system back in my younger days.
Dang it! Just remembered I forgot to pick up the black eyed peas and hog jowls. Back out to Publix I go.
Well the herds headed home. It was a fun day. However I damn near spaced off taking pics, but better late than never.

Happy New Years!
