I had a quiet New years in the Catskills at this cabin we rented with some friends. No cable, no phone, no internet. There was a DVD player though. We cooked dinner, played Cranium, read books, talked, and watched the fire in the wood-burning stove. At midnight, we had our own countdown around the kitchen stove's digital clock. We had no noisemakers, so we used pots and pans to make lots of noise and ring in the new year. One night, we went night snow-tubing at a near-by ski resort. That was really, really fun!! I haven't had that much fun since I jumped off the high dive at Scott's this summer or got pulled around the lake on a tube by a motorboat. Wait, I see a tubing trend here.
For a few minutes, I felt like I missed out on something more raucous or social. But I know I didn't miss a thing. I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
