1. Today, I mostly thought about how much I used to enjoy New Year's Day when the traditional bowl games were telecast, the Sugar on 12/31, and then the Cotton, Rose, and Orange, and Dad and I went to Ted Turnbow's to watch them with a basement full of other men from Kellogg and eat elk sausage and fix cold cut sandwiches and eat lots of chips and drink a ton of Lucky Lager beer, ice cold in Ted's downstair's refrigerator. I miss those New Year's Days and nothing in my present life can or will approximate how fun that was -- mainly because I'll never be with those specific men again.
2. I enjoyed reflecting in my blog on one of the things I like about my life as I turn 60: I'm more calm.
3. I didn't get to have the kind of New Year's I enjoyed 35-40 years ago, but I watched the Rose Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl and enjoyed both games, the first for the stout defense Michigan State played against the beefy Stanford offensive line and the second for the touchdown every few minutes offensive explosion of Central Florida University and Baylor.
