This year absolutely sucked. Good friggin’ riddance to the worst collection of 366 days I can remember in my five decades on this earth. To those of you who lost someone, our deepest condolences. Best wishes to everyone on the board for 2021.

Man, I forgot this was a leap year. Makes sense. Even 1918 wasn't a leap year.

Happy New Year to all! I feel blessed to have gone through this year with everyone on the board.

Based on what?  If you're talking COVID, the 1918 Spanish Flu was more than ten times as worse but was pretty much adapted to in a year, and life got back to normal (BTW, I had COVID, and am fine now. Very mild case, and I found out from my doctor that a great many people who have it had it about as mildly as I did.  Not trying to start a debate here, but just saying that more people have probably had it than has been reported, which also means that more people are fine than have been reported, but that's another issue for another time....)

If you're talking politics, most likely the incoming Presidential Admin will be like previous ones: do some things that are admirable, do other things that are incredibly foolish and unconstitutional. BTW, only idiots think their Presidential Candidate will do no wrong while in office. 

If you're talking about the Great Reset conspiracy, let me quote Mr. Scott from Star Trek, "The more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to clog the pipes."

I believe in a realistic outlook on life (and as a Christian I know that all this will eventually be done away with), but at the same time I fail to understand people who seem gleeful and desiring of things not improving.

The pandemic is awful. Full stop. 
 

But I was able to find a lot of things to appreciate in 2020. Just because the year changes there is no magic switch that will be flipped.

I had an international trip planned with my oldest that got cancelled.  My kids haven't been able to see their septuagenarian grandparents in person (multiple pre-existing conditions).  I haven't held my new nephew.

There's balance between the good (no commutes) and the bad (missing out on limited time with aging/ill parents that we didn't want to put at further risk).

I'd like 2021 to be a little better.

TMH, thanks for making me laugh as hard as anyone ever has.  I hope 2021 gives you everything you loved about 2020.

Goodbye and good fucking riddance 2020! 
 

yeah guys, I realize that just because the calendar is about to read “January 1, 2021” it doesn’t mean things will magically be better. In fact, the first few months are going to be basically the exact same. But here’s to hoping that by June, we’ll be functionally back to normal and by fall we’ll be pretty much totally normal again. Here’s to hope on the horizon in 2021!
