It was good to see our equipment showing the date of 01/03/2000 today! It was almost unbelievable!!

Snowfall on New Years day. My wife and I like snow and we moved to Flagstaff, AZ from Georgia in part to get to snow. And now it is finally here. A very auspicious beginning to the new year.

I'd have to say that the most memorable moment of the last three days was being glued to the couch on New Year's Day with a group of very hung over people, alternately watching the Australian Snake Guy marathon on the Discovery Channel and a French TV series called "Just Kidding" which plays bizarre jokes on real people. It just doesn't get better than that.

We had a party at my house and everyone went outside to ring in the new year with noise makers, etc. the men smoked their cigars, the kids ran around with streamers and toilet paper and decorated a tree as the millennium tree. Every time i look out the back door and see the colored streamers dancing on the wind - i think back to New Year's and I still can't believe I made it. I'm living in the 21st century.

Most memorable thing of the New Year's weekend was standing in my living room at the stroke of midnight, thinking how amazing it is to see the entire globe welcome in this new chapter in human history. Global telecommunications. What a worldwide collaboration!!

Watching all the different countries celebrate the new year before us flawlessly. I didn't have much of a concern about it, but I thought in some small way, something would be affected and nothing was!

My most memorable moment from the last three days was kissing my husband at midnight. It was followed closely by the power going out at my sister's house around 10:00 in the morning just as we turned on the TV to find out what Y2K disasters hit the US. (Of course, the power was out because of a car accident.)

The only thing that keeps coming to mind is watching the ball drop in time square; and waiting for something to happen, like the power going out and nothing happened. I'm sort of disappointed but mostly relieved.

not much memorable. . . maybe the way the PA person counted down the (supposed) last ten seconds of the year. . .She counted "10. . ." then she waited about ten or fifteeen seconds. . then she said "9", oh so casually. . .and then waited another interminable ten or fifteen seconds. . and I figured she would eventually get the right time exactly off the radio or the tv she was watching and count down at a more timely, accurate smooth pace. . . . but she didn't. . . .all the way to "1", up to and including the long pause between the "1" and the annoying bellowing screech of the "Happy New Year" declaration, she kept us all waiting,  desperately trying to ignore her, but basically being held hostage to the drunk power of her delusion of humour. . .she didn't stop. . .The suspense was horrible. . . Maybe in an odd way it added to the final relief that the lights didn't go out, the looting wasn't in full swing and the world didn't end. . . . . .That all being said, however, the last six hours of the shift really really dragged after that. .

I had family visiting for the New Year's Weekend. We had a very satisfactory visit, but when they drove   down the driveway and turned north for New England, I had a very pleasant feeling that the routine of my world was returning to normal. The tumult and the shouting die, the captain's and the kings depart.…

Watching on tv the fireworks display of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The fact that technology has come so far that we can do that to the Tower and that we can watch it too amazes me.

I totally enjoyed watching how different countries celebrated the new year. It was one of the most interesting things I ever saw.
