Balls Out!


Which do you like?

Personally, I'm partial to the old one.

Following on the theme of 'Tradition', I wonder how others feel about the new incarnation of the venerable Times Square New Year's Eve Ball.

When you honor a ceremony that's more than 100 years old, are you doing it justice when you add expensive crystal, computer controlled colorizers, and flashing strobes?  Maybe that's what it takes for the image to register on your cell phone.

Four middle aged men with their ropes and pulleys did pretty well for decades.  After all, if you're fortunate, at the critical second you might be kissing someone.
