Photographs from the New York Times from the almost past year.

Not exactly "memory lane" but transfixing nonetheless.

They are, besides being potent reminders of the times, really great photos!

I had forgotten some of these events. Some, are news to me.

I love the annual recaps.

It reminds me that I live in rich and abundant times.

And it is a far superior New Years' event than standing out in the cold among all the yahoos in Times Square.

But for years, we watched it at home. The glass ball.

What was I thinking?

Well, nothing. It is just a talismanic event. There is no doubt that January 2 will be the same as every other day. That is, in a general way. But in a specific way, yes. Beautifully so.

I will be here for that one too. If I can.
