Yes, y’all I’m still alive and kickin’, and healthy as can be. I’ve been following the guidelines from the CDC — wearing my mask, washing my hands frequently, and socially distancing when I’m out and about, which isn’t too often. I know, I haven’t written anything for awhile, but now that my bowels aren’t in an uproar everyday because of you know who, I feel I can calmly get back to it. Soooo, keep your station tuned to Mountain Man Musings. I’m back.

The missus and I spent a grateful Thanksgiving by ourselves for the first time in the 51 years we’ve been married, but had a “Grateful Meal” for 2020. After a couple of Manhattans, we sat down to our feast consisting of a 14 pound turkey I smoked on the Big Green Egg, roasted sweet potatoes with a maple syrup glaze, fresh cranberry sauce, turkey gravy from the innards, fresh green bean casserole, chunky mashed potatoes with parmesan cheese, corn bread cranberry muffins, a bottle of 2011 Willakenzie Pinot Noir Aliette, and then finished the evening off with pumpkin creme brule the missus baked the day before and a bottle of champagne.

No matter your political persuasion, it has been a very stressful few months (years), but I hope we can follow the words of a true American leader and begin the process to make America better again. The President-Elect is going to have many challenges ahead of him as he works to make this a UNITED STATES of AMERICA, a nation that is once again seen throughout the world as a global leader and respected for democratic principles. We all need to do our part to “seek the right answer” for making a better future.

Keep smilin’ under that mask you better be wearing. Ramble at ya’ later. Ziggyman
