My folks all wanted to do various things this year which also included entertaining those most likely to be pulling me away from things so I took advantage of the situation to finally catch up on some projects for myself
I took a timeout to go enjoy the city's fireworks display from a popular location with an OK view of the fireworks (but sucked for taking pictures). A good tradeoff hanging out with a loose crowd there and going home quickly overto being locked down with the "official & controlled crowd" for hours before/after.
