On this the last day of 2020, here‘s something multimedia from the NYT Opinion Pages that I found hilarious in a pandemic sort of way. It’s called “Your Dog Had the Best Year Ever.” Your favorite? Mine’s “Zoom: A boom year for video calls – unless your name rhymes with Meffrey Sloobin.” Or maybe, “Stationary Bikes: a metaphor.” And just so you know, I was rocking the “Home Haircut” thing long before anyone ever heard of the Coronavirus. We’re talking decades here.
I do have a couple of questions, however. First and foremost, since I’m not an Instagrammer: What’s the deal with “Black Squares?” Maybe someone more social media savvy than me can explain. Also, if anyone has any idea why the stock market is peaking just NOW, please share because I and the rest of the investing public would dearly love to know. (If ever there was something hilarious in a pandemic sort of way, this is it.) And just for the record, I do not hate my in-laws, I love them. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa.
********
Happy New Year, y’all.
Stay safe. Stay flexible.
And most importantly,
watch out for those earlobes.
Wise words on the stock market to close out 2020,
“The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”
and
“Never bet against the trend. The trend is your friend.”
Ride the wave as long as you can but know all big waves crash when they reach the shore.
My cortisol has had a great year, thanks!
(psst ‘black square’ means ‘Black Lives Matter, but maybe not enough to donate or volunteer’)
