For many of us this year, “Home Alone” will be how we celebrate New Year’s Eve. It has been a crazy year, and who would have thought a top resolution for 2021 would be to get a vaccination?
Carol and I normally gather with a few other couples to dine, play some games and watch the ball drop in Times Square on television.
