On that one, heading home from a couple of parties we shouldn't have gone to I was involved in a wreck in which both cars were totaled and both drivers got DUI tickets.
Fortunately (and amazingly) no injuries in either car.
But last night.
Let me show you how two old people celebrate New Year's Eve.
We shared a bottle of prosecco (nice!) and nibbled on sausage and cheese and crackers that had been gifted to us for Christmas.
Since neither of us can tolerate the faux jollity of the tv hosts at Times Square I surfed the channels until I landed on a Rolling Stones concert.
I learned this morning it was a free gig in Havana, Cuba, in 2016 that drew over a million people to watch the geezers rock out.
We only saw about the last half hour but the Stones are still the greatest rock and roll band and watching the then 72 year old Mick Jagger run from one side of the stage to another and be in near constant motion was amazing.
Once that was over I found a tribute program to old MGM movies and the stars in them.
Seeing old clips of Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson, Mario Lanza, Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, Judy Garland, Debbie Reynolds, Fred Astaire, Esther Williams, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and many more was just what we needed.
I was in bed asleep shortly after 9 p.m.
Judy stayed awake just long enough to watch the ball come down in New York City and then to sleep.
So that's how two geezers "celebrate" New Year's Eve.
But even with the aches and pains of all the years on us, we felt a lot better this morning than we used to with hangover mornings.
Speaking of new mornings, I was looking back in my blog to see if I could find something to post today.
What struck me the most was how many friends of those days gone by who used to comment have disappeared.
Some have died, some have moved on to other venues, some have just given up the game altogether.
I miss them all.
Incidentally, Al Stewart was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 74+ years ago and he's still performing.
