Having the honor of being on call for Thanksgiving, Christmas, AND New Year’s Eve, we ended up ringing in the new decade at the Mass Eye & Ear ED (or as I call it “the dungeon”, since it has neither windows nor cell phone reception). Fortunately, the night was quiet, and Melody got to come in to work to join me as we raided the cafeteria for chips and ice-cream, and watched tons of people in Times Square jump for joy on Dick Clark’s Rockin Eve. Sadly, another big snow storm struck after my week of night float. We spent the weekend stranded at home – eating, sleeping, watching TV, and playing video games – what a great start to the new year!
