Our White Christmas quickly gave way to a Green New Year's Eve, not atypical in these parts. Our usual New Year's traditions continued, with two days of appetizers, pots of hot mulled wine, and a movie marathon.
This year, we opted to binge the two existing seasons of The Mandalorian as our Disney+ blitz continued, not accidentally on the heels of the Star Wars marathon we undertook over Christmas.
I immediately started work on several pilot scripts, including: The ManDelorean, a show about a teenaged bounty hunter hired by Dave Grohl to go back in time to 1955 and retrieve rock and roll; The Howie Mandelorian, a cautionary tale of a bald bounty hunter who only accepts payment in briefcases of unknown quantity; and The Mandolinian, the story of a bardic bounty hunter hired by the Archbishop of Dublin to save St. Patrick's Day.
We completed a few small projects, like assembling a kitchen cart we had ordered a little while back. We also finally got around to hanging the boards we had purchased to display our various travel magnets from around the world.
We made some time for puzzles, completing two 1000-piece monsters depicting Lake Como, Italy, and a lush waterfall in Iceland. Lake Como in particular was a challenge, as its initial conclusion resulted in a 999-piece puzzle.....not entirely surprising in a house with eight feline helpers.
We bid a brisk farewell to the dumpster fire that was 2020, and hope for much better things in 2021 as vaccines roll out. It's a long tunnel yet, but there is daylight at the far end. We are both lucky and thankful for all that we have.
