Just went to see this house in Coventry decorated for Christmas. The gentleman who owns the place lets people walk up his driveway to see the incredible display he sets up every year. People come from miles around, notified about it mostly via Facebook word of mouth. Its a crazy busy light display with different colored lights blinking and twinkling and circling everywhere you look. But it was joyous and it really lifted my spirits for awhile. This has been a hard holiday season. I see in the paper how businesses and families are struggling, and we can't get together like we normally would to celebrate the end of this awful year. I can't wait to get that vaccine so I can see my mother and father again in person.

The pandemic was the last thing on my mind this week--especially after Wednesday. Partly personal: I had a job come in (freelance writer) so was having a normal self-isolation with nose to the computer. Then the horrible events in DC were a shock, driving other thoughts and fears out of mind. One small effect: I made a 4 hour round trip drive to Louisville--and because of covid fears made no stops for water, lunch, bathroom breaks. So...no fun on the road trip.
