As 2021 comes…

So far the fact that I turn 65 in 2021 has resulted in lots of calls from folks wanting to help me deal with Medicare. I try to be polite before I hang up… Dealing with 2020 I feel was a higher priority. I got out my 1903 Underwood #4 and looking at the page it produced one would think it was much younger than 117 years.

At 117 my Underwood can create pages better than the words my 64 year old brain can think of. However the joy of using this machine made the words type special to me because I used this machine. Sometimes that is enough to make the day a day of joy and wonder.

As 2020 ends…

At the start of 2020 I had a long list of things I planned to do. Then things changed and my biggest plan became to “just stay healthy”… so far so good and it means that I have had great success. With vaccines… there is new hope that 2021 will bring back a measure of “normal”. I even went out and pumped up the tires on my bicycle. I did not ride but 2021 is near.
