That evening, I picked up ensalada con frutas and the paella del mar for two from La Rioja, a Spanish restaurant in my neighborhood.
After our sumptuous meal, Nick and I attended the first of the two zoom New Year’s Eve parties. Nick was the only male. We enjoyed the all-female impromptu drumming circle, but the cross talk and giggling was not our thing. We left the first party to resume our original plans.
We played old records Meet the Beatles, Beatles 65 and Revolver and danced and sang along to the songs that we remembered. We felt young again and loved every moment. At 11:30PM we attended the other party. We chatted across our zoom boxes, watched the ball drop at Times Square and sang Auld Lang Sine, participated in a heated discussion about the Covid vaccine and happily marched into 2021.
