So it's official now... 2020 is hindsight!
Now, who could have guessed when 2020 came around that it was going to be such a strange year? The year of a global pandemic.
The year started quite normal, we even went on a trip in the Carribean last February! And then, wham! Suddenly everyone was confined and we couldn't see anyone nor go anywhere. We all learned to wear masks and to be weary of our neighbors. Everyone who could switched to teleworking and "You're on mute!" became the most popular phrase of the year. Amazon, Skip the Dishes, and all of the local delivery services started making tons of money, while local restaurants and hotels were struggling.
But who could have guessed? Well, now it appears pretty obvious that all the signs were there... I guess hindsight really is 20/20.
Well, let's hope it's all over and that 2021 will treat us better: that we'll be able to have coffee with colleagues once again. That we'll be able to have lunch with friends once more. That we'll be able to hug family and relatives again.
So here's hoping for a nice, fun, friendly, and healthy 2021.
...and while I'm in wishing mode, why not a Stanley Cup in Montreal? One can always dream :-)
