For whatever reason we didn't plan on doing anything exciting for New Years Eve, which in retrospect was a good idea as Ed was starting to feel under the weather. Our neighbors, Rob and Ellen, invited us over for a drink and to watch their backyard neighbors fireworks. By time we got home at 12:05 Ed was shivering and feeling awful. Think he caught the flu. He spent most of New Years day in bed sleeping and I kept popping vitamin C hoping to keep the bug at bay.
