Not Just Another Auld Lang Syne

Tonight I hope to do something I rarely do. Something that, truthfully, I cannot recall the last time I did it. It is my intention to stay up until midnight. Not because I shall be at some raucous celebration heralding the new year's arrival...







...but because I want to see this one's departure with my own eyes.  

After all 2020 has inflicted upon us, I shall believe it is finally over only when I see it.  Not one second sooner. 

However you spend it, wherever you spend, and with whomever you spend it, make your marking of the relegation of this train wreck of a year to History's scrap heap a safe one.  If you do raise your glass in a toast, then might I suggest, "Here's to hoping that we have done more than simply survived 2020. Here's to hoping we have learned from its hard lessons."
