at last!

I shed no tears in saying good-bye to a miserable 2020. 

    342,000 US lives lost to COVID — the deadliest year in US History. 

    Civil unrest.

    Exploding unemployment.

    Entire industries shuttered.

    A dangerous and childish president.

    And isolation.

So glad it's now behind us. The year, that is.

I usually have a few friends over. We share a dinner, and sometimes a movie.

This year I don't do that, but instead participate in a couple of zoom calls.

One for an hour around 5:30.

And another from 11:30 to 1:30.

It's easy to look at the world and see so much wrong with it. But it's important to see all that is right.

We'll have a new president.

The vaccine will be widely administered.

Businesses will re-open.

Unemployment will drop.

And Central Park will still be there.

I am lucky to have so many people in my life who make the darkest days brighter.

I look forward to again seeing them.  It's been far too long.

Last night when the ball dropped and the countdown was over, the world smiled.

Happy New Year everyone. We are ready.
