Closing credits
This year, I thank:
First, the people who gave money, advice, or labor to help our family to buy and move into our new house. I love our house. Every day, I am happy to be in it.
Second, our COVID-19 vaccinators.
Third, our TV. These shows stood out:
One more show, or YouTube channel, is worth mentioning again: Un mundo inmenso.
For completeness, I’d have to list Samuel’s shows, which certainly have taken up much of my time; but I’ll let him discuss them when he begins to blog. This year he has taken great physical and intellectual strides. I am grateful to YouTube for his intellectual ones. Samuel now knows his colors, shapes, numbers, letters, animals, and vehicles; he recognizes quite a few written words; he repeats interesting phrases; and today, he sang a few lines along with Dua Lipa and Elton John.
This year I’ll have completed the Bible-reading schedule devised by Robert Murray M’Cheyne. It’s the best schedule I’ve used, and the Good News Translation has been a joy to read.
I also passed my eyes over more philosophy than in any year since I lived in Ithaca. I wrote down the title of every article and book chapter I finished. Perusing the titles, I’m dismayed that I remember so little of the content. There’s something to be said for reading less.
(This doesn’t reflect well upon the industry of philosophy, whose practitioners are caught up in a whirlwind of having to publish more and more and more.)
I also wrote down the vast majority of the calories I ate; and, consequently, I lost a lot of lbs.
So did Karin, though she’s been gaining weight again. In February, Lord willing, we’ll have another son.

P.S. I forgot Clarkson’s Farm. That show was outstanding, too!
