The year started with a sprint. I ended 2022 quite sick (COVID take two or three?), which led us to cancel our holiday plans in California and coming home for Christmas to Frasier in New York. Since I was unable to see Dad for Christmas, he decided to visit me in mid-January, which was such a wonderful time for us to connect, have good eats, walk along the park with Frasier, and enjoy being in NYC as father and daughter.

It’s no surprise that one of my “favorite” posts to do every year is this one. I look back on these as often as my year-in-review because of how well this captures some of the beautiful moments throughout the year. 2023 was no different with incredible TV, movies, live performances, and memories that will last a lifetime.

As we’ve done in previous years we’re embarking on the challenge to rank all of the TV shows we watched in the previous year. This year we watched a few more shows and a lot of them were the first seasons which means we have a fresh list to rank. This also might be the list where Jenn and I have the greatest disparity between where we rank shows. It’s going to be a fun list!

As we close out 2023 we made sure that we ended the year the best way we could. Although we ended up cancelling what would have been a beautiful trip to California we made the best of our new plans and had a fabulous end to the year.

It’s hard to imagine what we will be writing in June of 2024, but for now, all we can do is be grateful for what an incredible month November was and look forward to all the exciting adventures that await us.

It doesn’t get much better than October in New York City, it’s too bad we haven’t been home for a lot of it. But whether it was traveling to California to visit family or our work trips we were very busy this month.
