Hoppin’ John and Skippin’ Jenny
Hoppin’ John is a traditional southern meal of black-eyed peas, rice, ham, and greens made on New Year’s Day, representing luck and prosperity. Leftovers are then called Skippin’ Jenny and represent frugality.
2020, The Year for Binging
I had a lot of free time on my hands in 2020 and “binge watched” several complete television series. Here’s the (mostly) complete list…
Star Trek
Star Trek Enterprise
Star Trek The Next Generation
Star Trek Deep Space 9
Star Trek Voyager
Star Trek Picard
Mash
Monk
The Waltons
The Andy Griffith show
Deadwood
The Mandalorian
Star Wars The Clone Wars
Star Wars Rebels
Band of Brothers
The Pacific
In total, that’s 83 seasons of television. Throw in a hundred or so movies and it’s probably the most unproductive year of my life.
