Happy New Year!
We all stayed up to watch Dick Clark's Rocking New Year. When he came on and spoke, I got all teary-eyed. His speech is all slurred but I think he did a great job tonight.
NEW YORK -- There was more to celebrate than the ball dropping in Times Square for Dick Clark _ the personality who's been ringing in the New Year for decades made his first television appearance since a stroke in late 2004.
Clark, sitting behind a desk with the street scene in the background, sounded hoarse and occasionally was hard to understand, but he said, "I wouldn't have missed this for the world."
"Last year I had a stroke," he explained. "It left me in bad shape. I had to teach myself how to walk and talk again. It's been a long, hard fight. My speech is not perfect but I'm getting there."
I love Dick Clark!
I wish each and every one of you a fantastic New Year!
