My wife and I watched the new year’s arrival at home, but ourselves. All of our kids had been invited to parties and so we had some blessed solitude in our house for a few hours. That is, of course, if you could ignore all of our dogs and cats clambering for attention and fighting for space on the bed, we were all alone. Everything is relative, I guess.
As we were watching NBC’s coverage of the ball dropping in NYC, they showed Bill & Hillary Clinton pushing the button to start the ball’s descent. Once the new year started, the NBC showed the Clintons again, dancing away amid the confetti and hoopla, seemingly oblivious to everything around them.
I said to my wife “Exactly one year ago, Hillary Clinton was the Democratic front runner, and to many, the presumed next President of the United States. It’s amazing what can happen in a year.”
I can’t wait to see what 2009 brings.
