A Sunday New Year's Day

Everything is thrown off when New Year's Day falls on a Sunday. Pro football maintains its schedule, but the college bowl games are put back until Monday. So is The Rose Bowl Parade, which I'm watching now. Four bowl games will follow, but everything seems anti-climatic. Libraries and the Post Office are closed while all else is open.
In fact, on New Year's Day all stores were open, as was my gym. It no longer is the holiday it used to be.
I am learning so much about how these floats are made. I will figure out some way to inject this info into a conversation to impress people.
As far as Maria Carey's NY Eve performance going awry--who cares? Alicia Keys and J Lo were performing on another channel. When she was 20 years old Maria Carey looked toned and lovely. Now she kind of bloated and middle aged and struggling to hit the notes. She may be a better actress now, but her singing has fallen off. Sabotage? I think not.
