The Skeeter Daddle Diaries

No doubt some of you revelers are wondering if we’re going to have our annual New Year’s Party this Year of Our Covid 2020, maybe figuring after 3 decades of these if we didn’t we’d have to leave town and hang a sign on the door saying
PARTY CANCELED THIS YEAR
SEE YOU SURVIVORS IN 2021.

If you’re still wondering, the answer is you need to get more than a vaccination when they’re available. Trump lost the election, the world is round once again and sadly this coronavirus isn’t a hoax. Someone asked if we might have a Zoom Party instead. We assume they had been celebrating a couple weeks too early. The idea of a festive zoom party has all the fizz of a non-alcohol champagne. Better than that would be a return to the pre-party days of falling asleep on the couch by 10 pm waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square on your black and white TV. In other words, hell no. We’d rather have a power point presentation of past parties than sit through a night of Zoom waiting for midnight, bad video, sound that glitches and disembodied voices. Our fervent resolution for New Years is NO MORE VIRTUAL SOCIAL TIME.

So sadly we’ve bagged our New Year celebration this year. We’ve asked Santa for a couple of vaccinations and two senators from Georgia which would mean next year’s bash will be exactly that. Meanwhile, hunker down, avoid friends and family, wear a mask and for godsake, stay off social media, no point living through the coronavirus only to contract brain rot. This plague will end and like the saying says, what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger. And if you believe that, by all means, come on over for our non-existent New Year’s Party.
