2021 By the Numbers

Happy New Year's Eve to everyone! I hope you're wearing a mask and staying safe, wherever you are.  I know I said I wouldn’t be posting for a long while (I’m working on some personal stuff right now), but I did want to share my stats for the year.  You know me and the stats.  I guess sharing the numbers will make me feel better about 2021 and also give me a push to do even better.  I’m grateful to live in a place that requires vaccination and masks inside theater venues (I wish they had that mandate in Ohio) and hopefully the world will right itself in 2022.  Of course, with nearly half the country becoming selfish jerks who care nothing for their neighbors, I often don’t have much hope.  But one can dream…

Food and cocktail-wise, I haven’t been out all that much, but I do want to shout out the Orchard Margarita at Boqueria, which is divine.  I also adored the cocktail I had at L'Express during a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, but I can't remember the name of it.  Shame on me.  More cocktails in 2022, please!  Take good care and hopefully we’ll all right our ships in 2022!  Happy New Year!
