8. Wow. Two NYE gigs with alcohol causing serious problems.

I hope there wasn't permanent damage to that grand piano or the arm of the woman who brought the lid down on herself. It was good of you to give the hosts the phone number of a piano technician who could help them.

As for the couple who danced off that party boat... Thank God they were rescued. I'd hate to be in the water at night off the Florida coast - especially if there was any chance others on the boat might've been chumming the water tossing food overboard. I have a brother who vacations almost every year along the Emerald Coast, and he believes his family is perfectly safe wading or kayaking near shore, that sharks don't get very close. I sent him some videos of hammerheads.
