Well my friends and family as 2021 comes to a close I reflect on the year and realize it is better than last year and know that 2022 will be even better. In 2020 the covid crises went out of control with a president that spread hate, conspiracies and lies. Also last year I lost a great mentor and friend to me – Master Miriam Stevens (1948 – 2020). Sadly this year we lost our dog Scruffy. Thankfully in 2021 we got a new president who cares about America, its people, and the climate. He is making every effort to build America back better. And I feel things are getting better. And I feel that 2022 will be a great year.
This year 2021 we still have covid safety prodicals, but my wife Jill and I had a good year for the most part. In June we went camping at Sugar Bottom Campground at Coralville Lake. It was not fun camping this year, however, as the campers in site one decided to have a so-called bachelors party and where extremely loud – blasting music until all hours of the night. At 1 AM they were finally quiet as I told them to shut up. In spite of no sleep I still went kayaking the next day to the Coralville Dam. We are never going back to Sugar Bottom Campground.
In the first week of October we drove to Oklahoma City Oklahoma for the 34th USS New Jersey BB-62 Battleship Reunion. We went and saw the Oklahoma City Bombing Victims Memorial, ate lunch at a place called Mad Cow Cafe, and went at saw the Cowboy Museum where we got autographs, on a poster, from all the artists that made the sculptures and art at the museum. We did have a fun time at the 34th Battleship Reunion and in Oklahoma City. Of course in October is my favorite Holiday – Halloween. It is the last Halloween we are celebrating here as we are preparing to move to New Mexico. We already started to get rid of things and packing up the house.
We are looking forward to having a ranch home and land, traveling across the states, and one day raising horses. I am going to finish my Private Investigator license in New Mexico and help search for trafficked or missing children. I am also planning on building an Okinawan style dojo and teaching art and karate classes again. I am also looking forward to exploring all the bike trails in New Mexico, Utah, and in Colorado. And do the historical haunted tours. We, my wife and I, have much to look forward to as we begin the next journey of our lives. And hopefully in 2023 we will be able to finally take our wedding anniversary trip to Holland.
Happy New Year 2022!!!
Love From Timothy L. Kerofsky, MA and wife Jill
