December 31 - Hopefully


Quite a year, the epic journey continuing at https://markalburger2021.blogspot.com/


looking forward immediately to wishing it out and greeting the new one with Harriet and Cliff, the latter via Zoom,


having done the East Coast version 3 hours earlier -- augmented by George, Bette,


Sorrel, and Laurie --


Happy New Year!,


spreading around the world!


Linger w/ Cliff, determining that we'll celebrate anew in under 3 hours when the event officially hits us....


Before this,

out for the


daily walk,


3rd on Mix Canyon, now west from


Wreath Gate, past Honey and


Creek Ranch


to


The Notch, and


return (note disposition of bows on wreaths -- denoting for some, including present company, what constitutes "up").


Further exploration into the


Vaca Mountains,


returning via


Pleasants Valley,


Cherry Glen,


Lagoon,


and


I-80,


on the 51st and last day of fall,


high up 4 to 62, with general catch-up and editing the 8th page of the

Oh, You Faithless Scrooge-let!, Op. 344

performance score,


over Alan Hovhaness's


Symphony No. 66 ("To the Appalachian Mountains"), Op. 396 (1985) and


CNN New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, before the early celebration; and


Giuseppe Verdi's Ernani (1844, in a Metropolitan Opera / Luciano Pavarotti perforance, 1985),


the recapitulated Cooper et al,


a brief outside adventure with Harriet, and


Stephen Colbert's


year-end retrospective before the later.  An eventful year, and here's to one much better ahead!
