Beyond Reality discussion

Happy New Year, Beyond Reality!  I hope you all had a fun and festive or cozy and restful New Year's Eve, depending on your preference.  My family went cozy and restful since half of us have a bad cold and we were in bed by 9:30, but we had a lovely (early) evening with family fireworks at the local high school at 7, and some special cake for a new year's treat.
