Last night I turned on the TV at 11:59:45 pm, watched the count down and switched it off at 12:00:15 am. That 30 seconds was more than enough.
Heh! Yeah, at the approach of midnight, my wife was already in bed and my son came out of his room at abut that same time and asked if we were going to watch the ball drop. I looked at the clock on my iPad and told him "Happy New Year". . We both laughed.
