    Mrs. Suspect and myself are going to a neighbors house for an oyster roast. A few others in the neighborhood will join as well and everyone is bringing a covered dish. My wife is making a white chicken chili that is fantastic. We’re not big drinkers but I plan on enjoying a couple bourbon on the rocks while basting in the heat of a good bon fire. This is the first time we’ve gone out or had plans for New Year’s Eve in at least 15 years. Usually we’re home and in bed by 12:02.

    Get drunk and be somebody. Actually probably not do anything. The gun club hosts a turkey trapshoot on New Year’s Day so I’ll be going early morning to help setup. Ahhh gunsmoke aromatherapy all day.

    A little hockey on TV, several beers, and probably in bed by 10. The plan is to go out for breakfast tomorrow while all the yayhoos and amateur drinkers are still in bed.

    No plans to go out anywhere.

    We'll have some shrimp cocktail and a few other things.

    I'll probably doze off before going to bed.

    If you do head out, please be careful. That other vehicle might not be as careful.

    Staying home on what we call "Amature Night"
    No need to go out just because of a date on the Calander we can go out any night so good night to stay home and safe.

    Certainly, will be food involved, like Mike some shrimp for sure, not sure what else yet.

    Stay safe and Happy New Year everyone.

    Shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, fake champagne with the kids... That's about as rowdy as it gets at the house these days.

    The wife has headed to Texas Roadhouse for takeout. We are having ribs, baked potatoes, and a salad. I always get two meals out of their servings. We'll be awake to witness the ball drop in NYC. I can't imagine those thousands of spectators trapped in blocked-off areas, unable to leave for a bathroom break (for hours and hours), and it raining. Umbrellas are not allowed, neither are back packs. I bet a vendor could make some money selling adult diapers.
