Hello everyone, and happy December. I woke up at four this morning thinking I would have something worthwhile to write about, then life happened. I'll give you the Reader's Digest Condensed version; eldest sister had been cooped up in the hospital for the better part of the last week until yesterday when she was finally released. Now me and the other sister, for the moment, have to wait on her hand and foot until her strength gets back to somewhat normal, but I personally have my doubts, sad to say. Anyway, what plans I may try to make the first half of 2022 will likely put on hold, and that is before what havoc this omicron variant may wreak on the general public this Holiday season and beyond.
I don't want to think about that for now. I just know I'm vaxxed and won't be due for a booster until late February. That said, why don't we turn the clock back to a simpler (?) time in life (if you were old enough to remember it). Today I thought I would go back to this date in 1989, when the southeastern US was about to be nailed with a sudden arctic blast that created snow flurries as far south as Miami(!), and left greater Fayetteville, NC a snowy mess (and me with a bad cold). Here were the Top 40 according to Radio and Records magazine for that week:

I kinda wish I could go back in time to that year...on second thought, as dorky as I was, maybe not.
Until next time...
