January 1, 2013: New Years on the Plane

There were some unspoken expectations that the airline crew will 'do something special' to reign in the new year, but no such thing happened.

As the east coast time hit midnight, the lights on the plane remained dimmed and most of us were in some state of dozing off.

I continued to read 'The Sense of an Ending'. 2011 has been a difficult year and it seemed appropriate that the new year begins quietly without much fanfare.
