I've had some lovely extraordinary experiences on New Year's Eve.

I have no way of knowing how people really feel, but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back.

Let our New Year's resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word.
