Today is New Year's Eve, and tonight people all over the world will be welcoming in 2026. Some will celebrate by watching fireworks, some will get together with friends and family at home, some will pay big bucks to attend New Year's Eve parties such as Gatsby's White Rose Gala here in Denver, and some will welcome in the New Year at various restaurants around town. Years ago, my mother Mary, sister Susan, brother-in-law George and I would celebrate up in Fort Collins, where Susan and George had a townhouse. George just loved going to Nico's Catacombs, an upscale restaurant located in downtown Fort Collins, and we sometimes welcomed in the New Year in that venerable restaurant's bar area. I think that is where we went to celebrate New Year's Eve back in 1994, when I took the photograph above of Susan, our mother Mary, and Susan's cat (Esmerelda?), as my mother was preparing for bed. And if we did hang out at the Catacombs late into the evening, I am sure my mother would have been more than ready to put on her sweatsuit (it got pretty cold sleeping on the couch in Susan and George's living room) and get to sleep as soon as possible. And by the way, Nico's Catacombs is long gone, but its former home is now Sonny Lubick Steakhouse. Which George was also quite fond of, too.
