Happy New Year! I want to know where 2013 went. It passed by in a flash, just like a speeding bullet. Isn’t there some way that we can slow down this train?
My grandchildren are bemoaning the fact that they have to wait for an entire year before Santa Claus comes again and it takes forever to do that. At the rate that 2013 passed by, maybe I should start my Christmas shopping now!
I’m writing this column a few days before the new year actually arrived, so I can’t babble about how our adorable Rose Parade float “Dog Gone!” looked Wednesday. I did wander over Pasadena way on Saturday and the crowd was already beginning to gather. Of course the weather is showing off its best side. The air is so clear that you can see forever! We love to show off for the millions of television viewers who tune in to watch the parade, don’t we?
