2020

Let's see...

*Feb 1 - I had a stoke.

*March 16 - We sheltered in place.

*Nov. 3rd - We voted in a new president.

Because of my stroke, the pandemic and election were like side shows.

With my stroke, I could have easily had my brain wired to my resentment circuit.

For some reason, it got wired to my funny bone, to my joy and gratitude circuit.

There were many blessings.

My biggest takeaway: an extremely happy retirement.

I mean, like, what did I do to deserve this?

I could never have fathomed in a million years that one day I'd have nothing to do but play with the wonderful recording toys/tools that they keep coming up with these days!

I have gotten 10 times as much recording done as I did in 2019.

And as much as it is a list of 2020 accomplishments, it is also really a recapitulation of my life, as most of the tunes were written in my teens, 20's and 30's.

I am loving retirement!
