I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who isn’t eager to put this historically miserable year in the rear view mirror.
Unfortunately, the pandemic rages on as we transition into 2021. There is hope on the horizon thanks to multiple vaccines, and let’s all pray this year eventually brings a return to some sense of normalcy.
Loyal readers of this newspaper know I have traditionally written a Christmas column in which I take the persona of “Sports Reporter Santa” and hand out gifts to prominent figures in the local and regional sports world.
I decided to skip the Christmas column this year because it just didn’t feel right closing out a year that has brought pain and suffering to so many with a tongue-in-cheek piece that is known for delivering plenty of zingers.
