Top Ten Reasons Why New Year's Eve Was Sad

1. We're Getting Old. There used to be a time when we would brave the bitter cold and go into First Night in Boston and stay up almost all night...not so anymore. Now we just hang in with some friends and head home as soon as the ball drops.

2. Dick Clark. Did anyone else find themselves choked up while he was doing the countdown? Poor man can hardly talk! What happened to the ageless, invincible, robotic Dick Clark? I could barely make it through the countdown. It was painful to listen to him.

3. Janice and Chris' Upstairs Neighbor. As we were coming into their condo, we could hear the people upstairs talking and the wife told the husband that she wanted to file for divorce. Then the poor man just left. Happy New Year...

4. Ok, there is no # 4. I guess it should be top three reasons, but those are biggies - they can count for three or so each. Don't get me wrong, I had a fun time on New Year's Eve. It's just different, and sometimes different is sad.
