To end this hideous year we did a whole lot of nothing. Took a nap from about five P.M. to nine P.M. Fireworks had popped occasionally all day. Got up and watched “Quantum Leap” reruns ’till midnight. Fireworks really started up then, and went off for a while. Went outside but saw no fireworks. It’s 1:17 now and we still hear one occasionally. Snow is on the way.
