We were having a party at my Mom's house. Small little gathering of familiar, love-able friends and troublemakers. Shortly before midnight, as we were all pouring our glasses of non-alcoholic bubbly (Really?? We were not old enough to buy booze legally at this point in our lives?? Holy hell!), not paying any attention to the fact that the one and only Matt Rossi had disappeared. We all counted down with Dick Clark, toasted the New Year, and panicked when all the lights in the house went out. It wasn't until we saw that the street lights were still on did we notice the absence of said Mr. Rossi. He has been kind enough to find the circuit breakers in the house and had tripped them just in time to ring in 2000.
