We spent a very nice, very quiet New Year\u2019s weekend at home. John cooked black-eyed peas for New Year\u2019s Day – heaven knows the world needs more luck, so we did our part. We got a lot of reading in, plus some television. I did not even set foot outside the apartment all weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last Sunday I had a good video chat with Ann, Pam, and Jackie, and a mid-week chat with Cousin James. Work was busy, as usual, with everyone still worried about COVID rates in Liberia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re watching a spy series called \u201cBerlin Station\u201d that we enjoy, plus we watched \u201cDon\u2019t Look Up.\u201d I\u2019d kind of like to re-watch it, as I haven\u2019t made up my mind about it – but it is fun and campy. I finished reading \u201cBeing Wrong\u201d (interesting but dense for me), and also read a diet book \u201cWomen, Food, and Hormones\u201d (don\u2019t recommend, but picked up a few things), the very interesting and engaging \u201cCountdown bin Laden\u201d by Chris Wallace, and the fun \u201cEmbassy Wife\u201d by Katie Crouch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
