I was looking forward to this all week...
I even figured out how to simulcast it from my phone to friends out of town.

Lakewood, all of a sudden is a very boring place.

I don't know what I am going to do... Is Dick Clark still alive?

Sort of Happy New Year!

Prayer. Got it.

Happy New Year (almost). Let the festivities NOT begin.

Thanks for not helping for the 4th year in a row. If for no other reason next year will
be the 5th consecutive year.

After we didn't do it I got the hell out of there. I thought the place was empty! You can
imagine my surprise when I heard, "Who is up there? How did you get in?"

I will hook up with Joe later who did not take photos.

I guess we get to find out this year what it means when it lands monkey up.

Happy New Year To All

Not that I was on Detroit Ave. near any tall buildings shortly before midnight on December 31.

But if I had been it might have looked like this.

:shock: YIKES that looks like a nuclear effing conflagration!

glad it didn't happen but maybe it's what we should shoot for next year.

As an aside, I always wondered how a firework display representing a mushroom cloud would be received on the July 4, fireworks display?
