Our New Year's Eve plans proceeded pretty much as I outlined in yesterday evening's post. The major alteration of plans was that instead of finishing the second movie and heading to bed we decided to pause The Trotsky and then catch a few minutes of the festivities taking place in downtown Halifax.
The switch from the movie to local TV coverage probably wouldn't have been my first choice, but it wasn't too bad. It was particularly nice to seen that local TV coverage in Halifax is comparable to local TV coverage in St. John's, and certainly not much better. The other consequence of this decision was that we were able hear and see a few of the fireworks. Fortunately we did not have a neighbour or neighbours blasting them off nearby.
Another notable feature of our New Year's Eve celebrations was the relatively low level of alcohol consumption. My sense is that Neil and Rebecca each had one drink while Jeannette and I both did not consume any alcohol. Sadly, I did replace excessive drinking with excessive carrot consumption. Fortunately for me, the after effects of overindulging in carrots are much less imposing than the after effects of overindulging in alcohol.
Hope everyone else had as good a time as we did.
