Happy New Year 2022...and a few links to our sister blog on WordPress

 Hi, there, Dear Reader. It's Monday, January 10, 2022, and finally, after two months of not posting anything in A Certain Point of View, I am back with a new - if perhaps brief - post. 

I am happy to report that I got my Moderna (Spikevax) vaccine. I received my first shot in mid-November, and I got my second one just a few days before Christmas, I have not gone out anywhere since the second Fauci Ouchie, mainly because I don't go out much anyway, and the woman who used to take me places - doesn't do it anymore. I missed seeing Steven Spielberg's West Side Story because of this, and since there's no easy way for me to go to the nearest theater on my own, I'm resigned to having to wait till the film hits the home media market. 

Anyway, I've been busy over on WordPress with our sister blog A Certain Point of View, Too. I write at least one post a day there, and currently, I am on a streak that is, as of today, 550 days long and still going. ACPOVT (or, if you prefer, ACPOV2) is essentially the same kind of blog as this one, with the same mix of content as the Blogger version - only it's not banned on Facebook. 

Today, for instance, I wrote a review of Star Wars The Black Series: Luke Skywalker (Hoth), the latest addition to my collection. And today I noticed that a discussion about a mission in Cold Waters got two pageviews even though it's from last September. (If you're interested in checking it out, read it at A Discussion on 'Strike From the Sea' in 'Cold Waters.')

Given my ruthers, I wish that Facebook would lift the ban on this blog so I did not need to have ACPOV2, but paradoxically I have more followers and feedback from readers there than I do here. Yes, this blog has been around longer, I admit. And it has earned more ad revenue (because of its longevity). 

But having been banned from Meta's Social Network has had a chilling effect, and Facebook will not lift the ban, so....I devote most of my blogging time to WordPress. Besides, it's nice to have nearly 500 followers there, while here I only have...24. 

Anyway, I hope I won't take another two months' long break from posting here. So as the Terminator says in the eponymous movie from 1984: "I'll be back."
