Ahh the holidays. Sure, they are a time for celebrating with family and friends and wishing one another an even better year next year but what about now? As for now, half of the New 60 team (don’t worry John’s friends, it’s not him) came down with Covid for the second time. Despite getting every shot and booster available to mankind. In fact I had a great plan before getting sick. We invited 3 other couples to a jazz concert in our town, followed by a NYE party at our apartment. I pre-paid the tickets without telling everybody and now what? We had to cancel the party and the jazz club won’t refund the money. I guess I was trying to prove to myself I wasn’t like the faint-hearted couples in the comic who couldn't stay awake past 10:30 pm. I’m NOT like that, except with Covid. So please forgive me for being a wimp today and cutting this blog short. I promise to be back at full-strength next week with a full-length blog. But for now, with no energy and no apparent sense of humor, I bid you all a Happy New Year. See you next week.

Andy and John
