Happiest New Year to everyone! My resolution this year is the same as always, I resolve to NOT make any resolutions. I always manage to 'keep' that one.

Stayed up late this year watching 'the bucket list' from 2008 which I had never seen. Very good movie. Then all the fireworks started. Amazingly, the usual place had only about 4 or 5 little bottle rockets BUT the Roofer's kids (roofer must have gone to Vegas for New Year, were setting off huge, loud, awful fireworks for over an hour. Kids laughing and screaming, and having a ball. This is just one door over from me. Ugh. Wait until the parents get home. They would never have allowed that activity!
And then there was the gunfire all around. Little guns, shotguns. I'm still looking around for stray bullets. Some people still don't know what goes up....
Cold and clear morning. All outdoorsies accounted for, gonna go on a walk later, got my rent from the tenants so I can finally go shopping. Whew.
Happiness to ALL in 2013!
