@alan just loons when I am in the Green MTN state.

@ Coastal: No loons in Philly, just steering clear of all Goons!!

@ Alan lol, I try my best to no avail most days.

@ Readie: A Linguistic Question: Will 2022 Finally be the year that everyone drops the "two-thousand" prefix as in "two thousand twenty two" ??????

Great question Alan! may be...we shall see!

How about "Awesome" replaced by "Epic"

Would u like it to be so?

Yes!!

I use awesome and epic too, overuse, probably!

Anyone see "Don't Look Up" yet?

1st song I know to use the term "obfuscate"

Ooo, that Bon Iver was gorgeous! I haven’t seen it yet. Maybe will check it out tomorrow!

Addie, it is sooo worth it! Leo De Caprio is insanely good!

HECK YES Jeff Buckley.

Hey Read!!! Happy New Year from Beata and myself!!

I got a very slight Donna Summer vibe from some of this vocal perfection...

MARVIN! Hello! So good to see you! Thanks for the wonderful marathon! And to you Beata, Happy New Year! Did you have a nice hot shower and a good nap?

I had a shower and a nap! Thanks!! I have a feeling I may crash later but I am fine now!!
