New Year's Eve, Borrego Style

Finally, warm Borrego days have returned...though nights remain in the forty degree range, the clear sunny desert days are back again. New year's day is forecast to be in the eighties!

We used to barely manage to get up early enough to watch the Tournament of Roses parade and catch the first bowl game, due to New Year's eve festivities. It is different here, in Borrego, however. As every Borregan knows, midnight occurs at 9 PM. Any resident has ample time to dine out, celebrate New Year's Eve when the crystal ball drops in New York's Time Square , go to bed early and feel wonderful the next day!

AND... by the way, what in the world has happened to the important "BOWL GAME" ? In our home, at least, it seems as if bowl games have proliferated and multiplied until becoming commonplace fare on the T. V. I do hate to complain , but I miss the days when just a few games actually determined the winners!
