Annus Horribilis: Good Riddance, 2020 (The Way We Survive/Thrive From Here, In 2021)
Thank God 2020 is OVER. That was my immediate reaction as I drank champagne and drank more champagne, joyously, in some kind of insane attempt to purge the memory of the grim toll of the previous 366 days of a singular, cruel leap year.
