2020
2-4-20 My mom died in December
2019. I ended up inheriting a lot
material from that. This would be the
first of the collections I’d be posting: Our
Great Heritage books.
2-26-20 I went to an El Paso
Rhinos hockey game and really enjoyed it.
I also got really sick afterward, though I didn’t mention it in the post.
3-16-20 Yeah, then this
happened. Everything got cancelled: NCAA
Tournament, Aggie Softball, and Aggie Baseball.
I’m sure this will all be over soon and everyone will be so glad that
all these precautions were taken. I was
making fun of this at the time. My
opinion hasn’t changed a bit.
3-18-20 I even wrote up a
two-part MLB Season preview for a season that wouldn’t begin for months.
3-20-20 I began posting my mom’s
Country Music magazine
collection. Since I was in banking and
we were “essential,” I had to show up for work every day during the
lockdown. I guess this was where I
started doing daily posting.
4-15-20 I started posting my
friend Mike’s caving expeditions.
5-27-20 I posted a bunch of interesting
artifacts around this time, such as this is a cute little Easter book.
5-26-20 My usual yearly Memorial
Day post. This time there was only event
to report on. Thank you, NASCAR.
6-1-20 I went to a local used
bookstore the day before the lockdown and finally posted about what I got
there. The art book I got ended up
starting my other daily obsession: drawing every day.
6-3-20 I started posting greeting cards that my mom had saved in a bunch of
scrapbooks. I couldn’t keep all of them,
so I settled on this as a way of preserving them.
7-10-20 My favorite Card post.
7-23-20, 7-24-20 How about some grade
school art?
7-28-20 MLB started their
season. I had a few choice words about
it.
8-04-20 This was a pretty cool
inheritance, a 1960 USS Ranger yearbook. I ended up giving it away to a lady at work
whose father served on the ship.
8-27-20 One of my better sketch
pages. Unfortunately, a whole bunch of
bad ones follow. I peaked way too early.
9-24-20 Space Squid. My finest artwork.
9-25-20 Some fan strips I
did. I managed to stuff in some
Evangelion jokes. I’m not saying these
are my best sketches; they’re just the most entertaining.
12-15-20 I did a series of posts
featuring my old photographs.
2021
1-5-21 Here’s where I started
posting my mom’s Elvis collection. Regrettably, I wasn’t able to sell it to an
Elvis fan. Dad still has it. I don’t know what will happen to it. This continues into July.
2-11-21 My favorite memory of 2020. It’s nothing, but it was pleasant.
3-21-21 I finally return to a
live sport event . . . wearing a mask . . . outdoors.
5-11-21 My first and only (ever)
account of a high school baseball game.
At least it’s funny now. I spent
the first quarter of the post talking about pro wrestling.
7-30-21, 8-2-21 Pics of my bedroom from when I was in high
school and pics of a trip to see a friend.
8-9-21 I start posting the PO Sketchbook, inspired by Pernille Orum.
9-7-21, 9-8-21 I didn’t recognize it at
the time, but I think here was the downfall of Aggie Volleyball. The brand new court at the Pan-Am Center was
ruined right before the start of the season.
But right afterward, I got the best souvenir ever at a game.
9-28-21 I start posting the Asia Notebook, inspired by Asia Ladowska.
10-27-21 Posts of some Toy Soldiers from my childhood.
11-23-21 I missed out on going
to the WAC Volleyball tournament because I was in quarantine. (I wasn’t sick.) Just as well, the Aggies were dismissed
early.
11-24-21 One of my better NASCAR
posts ranting about the Chase.
11-30-21 Aggie Football wins
their second game in their last game of the season. I was there mostly because they were offering
free Basketball tickets. There was a little heartwarming story at the
end of this.
12-16-21 I start posting mom’s Postcard collection. This takes a while. It finishes in December 2022.
