In 1901 President McKinley was shot, putting Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt in charge. In 1902, he was our first leader to ride in an automobile – now there’s too many on the highways. It’s New Year’s Eve and our restaurant reservation has been cancelled so we can continue to quarantine. We’ll perhaps start a new tradition by getting Covid tested this afternoon. Tally spent the evening at the Emergency Animal Clinic with an ear drum issue, so her new year won’t start much better than ours. At least, she has drugs!
I did get my 5k in this morning for the second straight day so things are looking up for my back issues. I was only able to get in 81.1 miles this month, a year low after cutting back my runs this past week and the trip to Disney World. I did prepare my New Year’s resolutions yesterday evening that include:
