As promised, here is the last thing I'll be writing in this miserable year of 2020. Normally, right now I'd be in the Midwest on the customary vacation to see various members of the family. However, the pandemic is so bad it was the prudent decision to not make the long journey this year; at least most of those family members were seen back in August when mom was buried. Earlier in the year I mentioned how 2020 was awful even before the pandemic as mom was sick starting in January. Other prudent decisions were made: another yearly tradition was attending the auto show in Orlando at the Convention Center, where many manufacturers displayed their new product. Believe it or not they held it last weekend. Due to The Plague being especially bad in Florida and the thing being indoors, it seemed like a bad idea for me to attend. Mecum in Kissimmee is early next year and as I would never have to go in any building if I did not want to... expect me there.
There isn't too much that's happened in the past few weeks. The Chicago Bears took an even worse nosedive than what I expected when I mentioned back in late October that their good record (at the time) was a real misnomer. They'll likely end up 8-8 once the season ends-good thing I hardly paid attention to them. I did go to the cinema more than once-the highlight there was seeing the new edit of 1990's The Godfather, Part III. I never hated it like many people do, even if the movie is not a classic like the first two. This 2020 cut is a little bit better than what was shown 30 years ago-I am glad that since 2010 all three of those movies I've been able to see theatrically.
I've been to more than one restaurant-Senor Frogs will be specifically mentioned as I had never been to one before. It's a loud tourist sort of place (no surprise as it's on International Drive) and it may be a place only visited once... that doesn't mean the food was bad. At least the burrito I had tasted fine, but it's priced like a tourist sort of restaurant. 2021, one thing I should do is visit more local establishments in the area as there is no shortage of those.
To close this out, I will wish everyone a Happy Holidays and a better 2021 for everyone-it couldn't possibly be much worse for me. On the other side of the coin, I really shouldn't complain: several people I know “got the COVID” recently and another was in a car accident-thankfully everyone ended up fine. Let's all hope next year isn't the dumpster fire this year was.
