Inspired by a recent post I looked up the details on the Park's New Years Firework show. Dare I plant the seed of a Brooklynian Picnic that day??

    It's going to be way too cold for a picnic, I think.

    I went there one year. It was the lamest thing I ever saw. They couldn't even get the countdown right either. It was actually hilarious.

    Ok, let's all admit to the fact that it's a nasty ass, freezing cold, shit fest out there. I'm staying home with champagne and music.

    That's my plan - not sure if my husband is joking, but he's still saying we should go to the park. Hell - how well do fireworks do in 24mph wind anyway???

    Actually I like mixing Boones Wildberry with seltzer. However, since Wildberry isn't in season I'm going to have a Heineken, or two, or three. Probably just one.

    We're into the 5th hour of Lord of The Rings, 2nd bottle of red - had decided it was a no-go, but since the wind has dropped in the last hour we're gonna bundle up and go for it.....

    Happy New Year to all of you :-)
