Listened to Jimmy’s Placido Domingo Christmas CD while getting dinner ready.

I remembered it was Christmas, forgot it was Friday!

Had a FaceTime present opening with Mick and then transitioned right into making the massive dinner! It has been great being here with nothing to do more than be with Rebecca and the kids. I want to celebrate with those closest to us and miss horribly our traditions that are on hold. Right now I’d normally be in New York at the house I grew up in. The icing on the turd cake of 2020? No N.Y. Bagels between Christmas and New Years!

Have a Happy and a Merry, as we said growing up on the Island. List is any Happiness reference we can muster. And thanks for the good stuff here at IMWAN!!!
