Definitely slow travel, and hitting as many of the National Parks as is reasonable. Up to 34 of the 64 now, with 7 more planned for this year.

I enjoyed deleting work contacts from my phone.


Kept a few of my work friends but the rest was gone.

This will show you how long I’ve been retired, but…

I specifically remember deleting all my work contacts from my Palm Pilot years ago. I recall thinking that so many of the names had once been integral to my workday but - poof - gone forever and soon to be forgotten. And thinking that this person was decent to deal with, that one was a real a-hole, etc. When all those names had been deleted it was like a weight off my shoulders.

I just found my old palm pilot in the drawer. It's battery had swollen up making it bulge.
Quite a surprise as I thought those batteries would swell up when charging or freshly charged, not when sitting in a drawer for a decade or longer.
Glad it didn't burst into flames

I tore it apart and threw it out.

Pre COVID "mini bucket lists" were a lot easier! I accomplished most of mine: lectures, dabble in bird watching, driving to different bike paths to bike there, and the best one: restart my Bridge card playing. I did that last one with a vengeance and it continues to this day [lots of competitive online options].

How 'bout attending movie matinees? Less people attending during those times and a discount to boot! DW & I just attended one this afternoon - $16 for two tickets, popcorn & a root beer. 😉
