Is anyone out there?

I'm curious. I think I lost my readership while I was away. If you are reading my blog, would you please write a comment, so I'll have some idea whether I'm writing to the sound of crickets chirping?

I might write more racy, shocking things if I figured no one was out there to read them.

Ahem. *grin*

Hi Amy,
Yes, both Paul & I are reading your blog. Yesterday I started to mentally list what I should be doing versus what I would really like to do. I got a couple of things from both lists done, but only a beginning.
Glad you are back. Love hearing about all of you. Darlene

I'm no longer reading, so please feel free to commence with the raciness ;^)
Amy, I read your posts :)
Me and my dogs all read your blog.

I'm reading too! As a matter of fact I was just making a list in my head of what I'd rather be doing too... UGH, it goes on forever! :)

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
