Hello Noho.
Well, the New Year's news is that there is a new New Year's ball. A ball to rise (not drop) at midnight, that is, not a ball like the upcoming inauguration balls for Obama (although that would be something-- Northampton should have that kind of New Year's ball!). According to my sister, who read about it in the paper, this ball is going to be so beautiful that it will be left up all year for us to admire. Sure enough, while crossing at the "Ee-uu" yesterday ("ee-uu is what a friend of mine calls the main intersection in town with the crosswalk that beeps "ee--uu, ee-uu" when it's the pedestrian's turn to cross the street), I looked over at the Hotel Northampton, and there it was. Perched on the roof, it looks rather like a spectacular UFO from a planet where they use Christmas decorations as spaceships.
