We’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne. Happy New Year.
There’s a couple of lines from a Joan Armatrading song: Some days the bear will eat you/Some days you'll eat the bear. That’s how I feel at the end of 2021.
Best idea I have seen today
It’s too fraught to go to parties so tomorrow just before midnight step outside your front door and glare into the night so that your face is the last thing 2021 sees before it dies.

My year in reviews looks like this: July. That was a good month.
First time back in @TheFitzTheater since you know what started. Glad it is for this:
When a team that I love has a really bad loss not much I can do but send them more 💙 love. #GoBlue

Statistically significant: the elevation of my spirits when the day is sunny, rather than gloomy. 😎
Staying home this Thanksgiving to care for my kitty cat, who has had an illness. Grateful for her caring veterinarian service, @grandavevet. Grateful for video calls so I can connect with my family later today. Grateful for pie.

Congrats to Coach Sue Guevara @CoachSueG for being honored for her great career at Central Michigan University today! I have fond memories of Coach G. from her years at the University of Michigan during the time I lived in Ann Arbor.
