First New Years off in so long I can't remember . So what do I do? Watch reruns of Twilight Zone. We have a little Jack Russell name Cookie that go's bonkers when thy set off fire works so I took her for a ride in the car from 11:45 till 12:30 . She is sleeping on her dog bed now, if she had heard fire works she would be on my lap shaking like the end of the world was here now.
I have worked for news papers for over 33 years now and had to work New Years for almost all of them, boy have times changed! "Back in the day" New Years at the paper was one big party. You had more booze being pasted around then some bars and we won't talk about the the other stuff.

( Not like it was that much different then the other days, when I started I remember them joking that if a news paper ever caught fire all you would see is a big blue flame.) There were fire works going off inside, horns blowing, bells any thing that made noise at midnight. Every thing was cool no one ever got hurt or got in trouble , thy seamed to know it sucked to have to work and let it go, hell a lot of them (bosses) joined in

. Now if some thing like went on thy would be going bonkers, trying figure who to fire and who tho send to rehab or some thing. That is one job thy found a way to suck the joy out of to no end.
So now I get the night off and what do I do? Watch TV and take the dog for a ride, wife hit the sack when I left with the dog and now I am looking around on the computer. There is a old saying "In side every old man is a young man asking what the hell happened !!!!!!! "
