New Year's Eve has always been something of a disappointment to me. I'm usually at a get-together of some kind, and there's all this build up and anticipation about 12:00. And then what? It comes and people set off noisemakers and kiss and then it's gone and nothing has really happened. I mean, we could easily set off fireworks and kiss each other at 12:43PM on July 23rd or 9:15AM on March 2nd, you know?
