Well faithful readers, we have made it to the end of this wretched year! Lets review, shall we?
January – We were treated to massively damaging wild fires in Australia, that ravaged 18.6 million acres. The fires raged for nearly 80 days, displacing or killing nearly 3 billion animals!
February – We all thought that we were going to war with Iran to start WWIII! Thank goodness that Coronavirus hit and put the kibosh on that party! My daughter got her braces off!
March – Oh yeah. Coronavirus. Turns out it was much more dangerous than previously thought. Time for lock down! My son got his license and car on March 13th! School is closed! We baked bread and Corned Beef!
April – Well shit. The fan is spinning and the shit is in the launcher, just waiting for someone to pull the trigger. Schools have been closed and the kids are ALL home schooled now! We had a virtual Scout camp out in our backyards! Built a vegetable garden in the backyard!
May – Black Lives Matter. I believe that they do. As do all lives. Should we riot? Absolutely not! Oh so we are doing this now? Who’s Aunt Eefa? Oh, Antifa! Great. Who invited these guys? Ah screw it, let’s all work from home! What? Go camping? Sure, on Memorial Day Weekend at Higgins Lake KOA? I’m in!
June – School’s out for summer! Fixed brother’s car door handle, drove through daughter’s graduation from middle school to high school, finished Mom’s lighthouse, did the book cover a day challenge (and loved it!), and finished my bookcases project! Camping again? Sure, at Traverse City RV Resort? Let’s go!
July – Missing Brandy, been gone a year and still hurts. CPL class? Why? BLM and Antifa, oh shit, let’s do it! Get into reloading? Hell yeah! Political ads and turmoil have started. Loaded my first rounds and got my first freedom seed spreader! 2nd wave of Covid-19 has started. Great.
August – Voted in the Primary elections. Fat lot of good that’ll do. Camping again?!? Where? Drummond Island? Hmmm…the prospect of being on an island during a freaking global pandemic does sound promising. Let’s do it! 20 year anniversary to my beloved wife! Here’s to 20 more! Huge explosion in Beirut at port. Ammonium Nitrate is not for playing around with. Wildfires out west in Oregon and California make the skies all red in Michigan! No band camp this year.
September -Turned 45! Finally built my reloading bench! Got my CPL! Working on my wood shop! Started my novel again! Kids are back to school! Virtually….
October – Halloween! Many Biden and Trump costumes, glad to see the kids out and about. Got to see the marching band on the field! Hooray!
November – Can we just say WTF for the election and just leave it at that? Happy Thanksgiving? Yeah sure, but it was a bit weird having it at home but we made the best of it with our wedding China and my son’s girlfriend participated!
December – Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and welcome to the third wave of Covid-19! Also first round of official vaccinations are sent out and administered.
I’m ready for 2021!
