We will be lucky if we see complete conference schedules and a championship game.

There will be more parades.

My pruning was always a gentle cut-back and thinning of leafy shrub roses so rebloom could begin as soon as possible, but meant dozens and dozens of flowers went to the compost pile.
It's sad that we'll skip a Rose Parade, but 2021 will have other, much bigger doings. Meanwhile the roses will still bloom all year round there and people around the nation will still celebrate 2021 puttering around home. Next next year for the parade.
