Happy New Year!

2006 starts in Waterbury with just enough snow to make everything look pretty. New Year's Eve in downtown Waterbury was extremely quiet. A lot of bars were closed -- the only ones that were open are the ones in restaurants. I guess I never noticed this before, but for most people here New Year's eve is a night for couples to go out to dinner. It seems kind of odd. I think it's more fun when half the city gathers together outside for a celebration. Oh well. Maybe something will happen here next year.
