Happy New Year all, and a new decade to boot!

For me, the 2010s sucked.

Lost my wife, then my dad, then my mom, then my dog. And my cat along the way, not sure of her place in the order. All this death really messed up my kid, too, she was 7 when her mom passed away suddenly.

Had the fun of building a decent collection of pins before prices went nuts, only to have to sell most of them off to cover payrolls at my business. Made out okay, but I'll never be able to rebuild the collection for anywhere near how little it cost the first time.

Not to mention the stress from the political situation...

This new decade is starting out good, though: mid 2020 will see a Rick and Morty land at my door!

Scored me a free(!) big ball bowler in December, yeah it was still 2019, but 2020 will see me get it working! (Can't wait to start cleaning like 27 steppers...)

And I like our new cat a lot better, she's really the best. Ironic that she was a rescue tabby, whereas the Siamese had been expensive and was aloof.

So here's to a much better decade!
