Summer List 2020 Revisited

Hahahah, remember when I made a list of summer things that I wanted to do? That was cute.

1. “If I can make it to Canada in the next few months, I’d love to go see Tew Falls finally.”

   • Didn’t even kinda make it to Canada.

2. “Go swimming at least twice. (Where? No idea.)”

   • I went once! In Vermont! And I’m grateful for even that one time.

3. “Try a Vietnamese iced coffee for the first time.”

   • Did it! It wasn’t anything miraculous, but happy to have tried it.

4. “Eat the burger at L’Artusi.”

   • Done! If you put “eat a burger” on any list of mine, it’d be wild if I don’t move mountains to eat that mother.

5. “Start planning San Francisco (and area) trip.”

   • Truly just forgot about this one. Still intending on researching the hell out of this trip.

So 2.5/5, which is actually not terrible for a summer that essentially did not count. Autumn list coming tomorrow!

Summer List 2020

Well, welcome to summer.

The worst season in the worst year is suddenly upon us! Look at that! With everything a few weeks away from shutting down again (it’s happening, I can feel it), here’s what I’m going to try to do this season.

1. If I can make it to Canada in the next few months, I’d love to go see Tew Falls finally.

2. Go swimming at least twice. (Where? No idea.)

3. Try a Vietnamese iced coffee for the first time.

4. Eat the burger at L’Artusi.

5. Start planning San Francisco (and area) trip.

Other summer things I would’ve loved to do if the world was safe and normal: I would’ve gone to go see the installation on the rooftop at The Met, but I wouldn’t feel very comfortable being around that many people even if it does open, so next year it is. I wish carnivals were still happening this year, even small street ones, but that doesn’t seem likely. I am looking forward to summer tomatoes and corn, so that’s something. I’ve got to start planning my Halloween costume, too. Maybe this season won’t be a giant train wreck?
