2024 was about acceptance
Today, 2024-Dec-31, is the last day of 2024. This year in particular involved emotional things that I've accepted.
meowmus the cat
I didn't ask for a cat in my life, but this one just happened to show up.
A few months back, some new neighbors moved into the house next to the one I live in. No big deal. A short while later, they got a cat. Okay. Some time passes, and the cat started exploring. Cat ends up on top of the wooden fence separating the properties. It's just there, not scared at all, and mew'ing. I go to pet the cat. It lets me, and eagerly.
garmin drivesmart 76 (because i don't do smartphone navigation)
There was a very brief period of time when I tried using navigation on the phone. Twice. The first time I tried it, I could barely read the screen due to sun glare. The second time, the phone overheated from Florida sun in less than 10 minutes and shut down. I went back to using a Garmin and stayed there.
And that brings me to one of Garmin's current offerings, the DriveSmart 76.
i finally watched it's a wonderful life
Over 20 years ago, I said to myself that one day I'm going to watch It's a Wonderful Life. I finally did.
Yeah, that movie. The one everybody has seen at least 10 or 20 times if not more. The one where many make it a tradition to watch every year. It was not until December 2024 at the time I write this that I finally saw it. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I never saw the movie as a kid nor as a young adult. It took until middle age before I finally watched this.
christmas cards for people that like to show off
As I've said before, I am a card guy. Most people don't give much thought to cards, but I do because it takes actual effort to buy one, sign it and send or give it to the recipient in person.
Two types of cards rule above all others for showing off.
