2010 Begins

In the aftermath of New Year's celebrations, statue of painter is left bedecked with a balloon...

New Year's Eve was very festive in New York. As usual, people crowded Times Square ( most under 30, by reports)--some had been waiting around for hours and hours--so they could see that silly ball drop ( why doesn't it go UP instead of dropping?) ( It would be much more visible from Times Square).

The New Year begins on a shaky note, with an airplane bomb plot stopped at the last minute, and an economy still in the dumps ( I am hearing stories of people who were laid off a year ago and still haven't found new jobs).

Well, here's to 2010 and let' s hope for the best!
