    The beginning of the Tampa Bay's Dynasty.

    The end of the Patriot's football dynasty.............
    I saw some of the Patriot's game. I saw after the half I think it was...Cam was benched and the 2nd stringer was in.

    The video controller kept going back to Cam to see his reactions to the continued slaughter even with him sitting it out now.

    I have to admit, Cam was stoic like a pro. B)

    The commentators were saying the Patriots don't get early draft pics for a couple of years to come, so this doesn't look good for their future.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Got a ton of outdoors projects done, including staining our shed and what seemed liked thousands of square feet of retaining walls with 2-3 coats if stain with a brush/roller.

    That is why it is called the Present.

    In all seriousness, we had a tear-off, Post-It kind of note pad that bore those two lines (more or less). It was a big pad, so I got to know it very well over the course of literally years of use.

    This has been my best year investing in ETF's............ Sold off all stock and it was invested in 5 different funds that turned a very nice double digit return.....all thanks to my son who is really good at what he does, currently managing/investing for a little company by the name of The Cargill Foundation. So thats a big positive..............

    Wait, I thought blowing huge sums of money on HiFi gear was the best investment one could make!

    I believe there was a lot of good in 2020, but you had to turn off the TV to see it.
    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same. What I am tryin to say is, is that the course of your life, well its changing, and you don't even see it- Forest Bondurant

    The small company that I've worked at for more than 25 years was aquired by a larger company. All that worthless stock I aquired years ago has become, not quite so worthless.😁

    Numerous milestones in my boys' lives as well this year.

    Covid-19 sucks, but frankly this year has had many positives for me.

    Oh, and I like working from home. Though I miss the in person eye candy.😉
