Diary Entry for 1/1/2000

57 years. A new century! Sunny day. Temperature up to 43°. Our snow about gone. I saw the New Year 2000 with Jolie on the phone from Washington State. They had fireworks around the world. In Paris, France. The fireworks moved up the Eiffel Tower reaching the 1000 feet to the top at midnight. Beautiful. Three years in the planning. Times Square was great. I got to bed at 1:45 AM. Tired. No Y2K showed up. A car was seized and the bridge to Canada closed last night. Jolie and I had our TV’s on same program. Zack was at security job. Juanita and Donnie here in PM. Lyla called today she’d stop by but she didn’t’ make it. I called Genesis. They said Merrill was worse and couldn’t swallow. I rode out with Donnie and Juanita. Jim and Nancy brought me hoe. Merrill swallowed some liquids for me. A beautiful day.
