Happy new year! Thank you for sharing all of this. My new years plans have evolved over the years, especially since having kids. One new years, long ago, I had dinner with friends in NYC, they all went to a party, and I wandered down to the East Village, and stumbled into Jeff Buckley playing at a small folk club. 2000 was one of my favorites. I started the day with no plans, ended up having a lovely dinner with friends, followed by a low key party with another group of friends. (The next day was kind of a disaster; I had to work at 6am, and then my crush came to stay over night.) The last time I really went out on new years was ten years ago, when my wife and I were still dating, and we went to a prix fixe dinner at an amazing (and sadly long gone) restaurant in Harvard Square. This year, the older kid had friends stay over, and I did laundry, caught up on email, and relaxed.
