Squirrel, Squirrel, gray Squirrel. Happy New Year to all the daily followers. Last night I did my usual rituals to welcome in the New Year. Just before midnight, I stand up, then slowly bend my left knee and then grab my left foot and hold it until after the New Year has arrived. That way I will know that I am starting off the New Year on the right foot. Ok, to be honest, I watched the ball drop on TV at 11 PM our time, and said close enough for me, and headed for bed. My party days are long behind me.
