As I try to mentally prepare myself for the coming year of 2025 and the next Donny T administration (ugh), I've been doing some writing, reading, making an effort to get to the gym a few times a week, and trying to keep myself sane by not doom scrolling the news (a task easier said than done). I did manage to finish a short story (a Covid love story) and, hopefully, that'll be published early next year. (More news on that later.)
In addition to writing, reading, and the rest, I watched the Yacht Rock documentary on Max a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. As a fan of yacht rock music, I was really looking forward to the documentary and it did not disappoint. Interviews with Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, and others were great. Too bad Donald Fagen declined to participate, but I can't say I was surprised. The Dan doesn't consider their music to be yacht rock (even though it is). Watching that documentary made me watch the Yacht Rock series on YouTube. Hilarious! I'm surprised I hadn't heard about this web series before it was mentioned in the documentary. Check it out if you're a fan. Episodes 1, 3, and 10 really cracked me up. Have you ever wondered how the song What a Fool Believes came to be? Want to see a fight between the Eagles and Steely Dan? Then the Yacht Rock YouTube series is for you! I need to watch stuff like that to take my mind off of the problems in the world right now.
I'm ready for Christmas this year. Aside from getting some time off from my day job, I just need to chill out and have some positivity before the year ends. I even sent Christmas cards this year because I think my family and friends need a little cheer. I had not sent cards in a while, but I did this year because I'm ready to embrace the holiday, keep calm, and carry on!
