Well, folks. It seems that we made it. It’s hard to believe that the end of 2020 is finally upon is, yet here we are. As you may already be aware, alot has happened in the past 12 months. So it’s forgivable if you missed a post or two from your ever-faithful1*Ahem* Except for a few weeks in late March. Point of the Story. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
I propose we say farewell to the Year From Hell by taking a look back at one story from each of the last 12 months, shall we? Whether it was an interesting read in its own right, or whether it captured the Zeitgeist of the moment–or, *gasp*, both–each of these tales were hand-selected by the editor especially for you, the busy Dear Reader.
So sit back, relax, and pour yourself a tall glass of champagne as we start this celebration off with an in memoriam for those no longer with us, aka “The Before Times.” January through March of the Year 2020, we drink this in remembrance of you…
January: Kicked On A Place
In retrospect, a tale about air travel, white-ish privilege, and socio-economic disparities may actually be the most 2020 thing I could have written about. Ahh, the blissful ignorance of That Which Was To Come…

I Had A Dream…Or Two
February: Touched By An Angel
The unsung heroics of nurses? Seemingly endless suffering? A near-death experience? It’s like I somehow knew what was going to be all the rage in 2020…

March: The First Rule Of Dealing Club
The First Rule Of Dealing Club represents the Point of the Story’s 2020 watershed moment. As the last post published before the true gravity of COVID-19 and the rest of 2020 hit us, it was one final look at The Before Times before we knew they were The Before Times. Now, just thinking about selling cookies to strangers in person feels so…weird. Heck, we would be thrown in jail for these father-daughter hijinx if they happened now.
