I’ve think I’ve been waiting for Lena Dunham’s #GoodbyeToAllThat since she first appeared as a writer to watch, one so tightly tethered to New York. Probably it will get mocked or spoofed, but I found it to be quite funny and disarming.

Two firsts just before we reached 2025: played my first game of pickleball and made my first pot of risotto. Neither was a disaster, but there was room, as in all things, for plenty of learning ahead. #newyear
