\u00a0If you’re following this blahg, you’re probably wondering what happened to THIS IS 100, PART TWO.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>\"ScottLook up.\u00a0 That’s the title of this blahg.\u00a0 When I reached 100 blahgs, I created THIS IS 100, PART ONE<\/a> but then took a break.\u00a0 I needed it.\u00a0 I had doubled down on creating two blahgs a month and when I reached the magic 100, I needed a break.\u00a0 I’ve been secretly working on a project that will get revealed somewhere in this blahg.\u00a0 Have I said the word “blahg” enough times?\u00a0 Here’s another.\u00a0 This blahg will be a recap of blahgs 76-99 because I don’t need to recap 100.\u00a0 I’ll also have to take some artistic license to add topics where duplication exists.\u00a0 Fancy words I know, so let’s move on.

76. MEATS AND CHEESES AND BABY JESUS. <\/em>That blahg was dedicated to a new Christmas Entertainment I had written with the title “Meats And Cheeses And Baby Jesus.”\u00a0 I won’t post it here again but here’s a link to the original blahg where it appears:\u00a0\u00a0MEATS AND CHEESES AND BABY JESUS<\/a>.\u00a0 It was all about a staff Christmas party that I had to attend.\u00a0 This year I have a new job and I’m a staff team of one.\u00a0 I think the Secret Santa gift exchange will suck.\u00a0 I probably won’t get myself anything nice.

77. IT WILL BE OKAY.\u00a0 <\/em>I was coming off 2019 which had presented many challenges.\u00a0 My Dad died in 2019 and I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica.\u00a0 I was still on prednisone at the end of 2019 and I was practicing my mantra that in 2020 “It Will Be Okay.”\u00a0 It wasn’t.\u00a0 I lost my job and some colleagues that I trusted turned against me.\u00a0 I’m under a gag order not to talk about the settlement that I was awarded.\u00a0 I’ll just say, “I WON!”\u00a0 And now I have a new job where I’m trusted and with a staff team I trust.\u00a0 Okay, I’m the only one in the staff team but I trust myself…mostly.\u00a0 I guess it was okay after all.

78. HOW I MET MY WIFE…OR BEST LEAP DAY EVER!\u00a0 <\/em>I told the story of how I met my wife and how the stars had to align to make that happen.\u00a0 \"Jeanette's<\/a>That’s my wife’s Facebook profile picture to the right.\u00a0 I’m not sure which one is supposed to be me.\u00a0 This photo below is one of my favorite pictures of us back in 1986:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Jeanette<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s me on the right.\u00a0 In later pictures I’m on the left.\u00a0 It’s a wonder how the love of a good woman can make you change.\u00a0 Hey, I wonder whatever happened to that watch?

79. THE FALSE DUCKS VIDEO BLAHG #3: HOW I’M SURVIVING MY ISOLATION<\/em>.\u00a0 Part of the blahg was talking about being in quarantine during the pandemic and what I was watching and what I was listening to in my isolation.\u00a0 Luckily, I didn’t get Covid 19.\u00a0 Sadly, one of the artists I mentioned in the blahg was Trini Lopez and he passed away in 2020 due to complications from Covid19.\u00a0 He was 83.\u00a0 I have a 45rpm picture sleeve record of Trini Lopez that was a giveaway with Fresca in 1967.\u00a0 Here is Trini Lopez singing the promo song “The Blizzard Song”:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
