"It's only November, you say. But that's about the time we used to start con- ducting weekly meetings on where to ring out the old and bring in the new. That was no piece of cake when you had eight couples who seldom agreed. "Some of the 'summit' meetings were held at local restaurants. That's not easy when one has a yen for Chinese food, the other is in the mood for delicatessen, at least three are on diets and the rest are Italian af- ficianados. "Settling on a night to get together is no cinch either. At least New Year's Eve al- ways falls on Dec. 31 so there's no choice. "The last time we all met we reminisced about New Year's Eves past. One couple went on their first date to the Pretzel Bell in Ann Arbor. They've been celebrating the new year together ever since. "We talked about the dismal failure of one New Year's Eve at the old Scotch 'n Sirloin where the food was cold, the waiters were colder and we got ripped off. For once we agreed on some- thing. We'd never spend an- other New Year's Eve in a .crowded restaurant. "The next year we met 12 times before one of the crowd refusd to see 'Sunrise at Campobello' at the Shubert Theatre because the play about Franklin D. Roosevelt was too depress- ing. "So we went to a terrible movie called 'Fabiola' at the Michigan Theater, put on funny hats, tooted horns and rattled noisemakers. We ended the evening at the Pacific Gardens on Dexter for Chinese food. It was a cheap evening but hardly a memorable one. "The year after that we had a house party that went over like a lead bal- loon. Everybody brought a dish and the potluck was so ample we were stuffed. We started doz- ing off before the clock struck midnight. Most of us missed Guy Lombardo playing 'Auld Lang Syne,' the liquor wore off when the food and the boredom set in. "So the next New Year's Eve we were back to restau- rants. We finally settled on the Alamo on Livernois. The only thing that saved the evening was one of our teetotaling friends finally breaking down and tippling a few. It gave her the cour- age to sing with the band— off key but loud. "One New Year's Eve we went to Paradiso's on Woodward but not with the usual crowd. Though we started planning early as always, fate took over and there were changes in our lives.
