A few days before Christmas Day I realized I hadn’t driven my car in over a month. How very 2020 is that, I ask you?

To remedy this situation I decided that we, that being Zen-Den and I, would go for a car ride to make sure that my sweet old car, now 18 years old, was still working. She was.

Inspired by the beautiful clear December day, we went to a city park where instead of walking, we drove around to see what we could see. A different way for us to enjoy a park, but considering everything about 2020 was unique, it seemed fitting.

A few people were outside walking, but for the most part we were by ourselves. I, of course, snapped a few photos to share here because what’s the point of having a camera in your cell phone if’n you don’t use it? I mean, really?

Thus with this little vignette of a day in the life of Ms. Bean, I’m back here in the blogosphere with a renewed sense of vigor and, I hope you’ll agree, a snazzy new template for The Spectacled Bean. It was time for a change here.

Also, for those readers who care about such things, I’ve decided on my word of the year. *drum roll please* In deference to my good intentions gone awry by things outside my control in 2020, I’ve decided to reuse my 2020 word of the year. Yes, my #OneWord365 is going to be SIMPLIFY. Again.
