I might pick up a Ramage novel but I seem to remember not liking those as much as Bolitho. <br />When I want to feel handsome, I imagine myself look like Bolitho. 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-69109936147361204152020-01-01T19:23:12.603-08:002020-01-01T19:23:12.603-08:00S.

Yes, I think this year I will forgo setting any goals and just focus on a project as it catches my interest. <br />I hope there will be lotr in the near future.

I think going into 2019, I made a number of them and probably only fulfilled about half of the goals I had intended (partially because my plans changed and I didn't pay attention to the goals in the first place :)). With that said, I enjoyed reading about your year and I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2020.
