Happy New Year everybody!!!! Wishing you all a great 2003!
What did y\'all do? I think left to my own devices I would have stayed home with the kids and watched Time Square on TV, but my wife suggested we go \"downtown\", so we went to an Indian restauarant for vege food then took in Eugenes traditional \"First Night\" celebration, which was fun. They literally fence off a section of the downtown area and set up all kinds of different activities including a couple of \"venues\" for kids. So, I spent a good part of my New Year\'s eve watching a 3 year old poke holes in bottle caps with a nail and a hammer. They were making recycler tamborines which I guess they were supposed to use at midnight to make noise. Right!?! A 3 year old is going to be awake at mindnight. He was out cold by ten and we went home to watch Dick Clark at Time Square. At midnight we went out on the front step and launched party noise makers. There was quite a bit of home-made fireworks on our block and a few big time efforts here and there on the horizon. Oh yeah, big point.... Oregon... didn\'t rain... very special night!
Happy New Year everybody!!!!!
Love,
Bruce
