Awood- Thanks for sharing your story about the lights.  I am sure they have brought a lot of joy to people over the years.

D2- I'm looking at a possible NYE race, too.  The one I'm looking at has a 5K and a 10K at 11:59 PM and/or 10 AM on the 1st.  There are special prizes if you do both races.  Unfortunately it's about an hour away so I can't see sticking around for both without a place to stay down there.

AFM, 5.9 not too terribly inspired miles done tonight.
