I can’t even begin to say how glad I am to see this year ending. I thought it would never end. I still am not sure we’ve seen the last of all the evil things we’ve been living with, but at least we get a new administration and you never know. They might do some good. We can dream.

Pick three words to describe this past year.   

Lonely. Frustrating. Broke!

What were the best books you read this year?   Or the best movie you saw?  

Battleground – Jim Butcher
Peace Talks – Jim Butcher
American Demon – Kim Harrison
The Constant Rabbit – Jasper Fforde
Hard Time – Jodi Taylor
Hank and Jim: The Fifty-Year Friendship of Henry Fonda and James Stewart – Scott Eyman

Saw some good TV. Not many new movies, but enjoyed a lot of oldies.

Because there was lots of time for looking inward, what is one big personal lesson you learned this past year?

Patience, patience, patience.

Do you think COVID has strengthened or weakened societal bonds?

I don’t know yet. I don’t think any of us will know for at least a year or more. It certainly has tightened up family relationships — but other than that? I don’t know and I don’t think anyone knows. Yet. Maybe we will never know.
