Good? No. Interesting, yes. Better than some, not as good as others.
2023 is looking very promising though.

I retired, and immediately (ok, it was ramping up the previous year) developed
a pain in a very specific part of my hip joint that has so far baffled 3 orthopedists, 1 neurologist, a pain clinic, 2 physical therapists, a psychiatrist and a mental therapist. Nothing shows up on an MRI except one of my discs has almost completely collapse but everybody says that's no related,
and so far none of the pain medicine actually touches the pain. Although the Duloxitene I was taking for pain has stopped me for spending half the night googling how to pay what I need to commit suicide.
It leaves me completely unable to do all the things I'd planned to do in retirement, like paddle my kayak, travel for more than 30 minutes or so in a car, sit in a normal seat for any length of time, fly economy. Oh, and the

That seriously sucks. I hope you find a cause, something that helps.
Not a great deal for me either having lost my wife in March.

Nothing destroys happiness like the act of communicating it. For happiness
is subtle and free-form, and verbing chisels it to stone, which kills it.

Other than that, I didn't have anything bad enough to post about for
almost all of 2022, so I guess that's good?
Don't know about 2022, but 2020 seems to be dragging on rather:
cdate () {
perl -MPOSIX -MTime::Local -e '@t=localtime;$d=int(1+.5+(timelocal(0,0,3,@t[3..5])-timelocal(0,0,3,1,2,120))/(60*60*24));print strftime "%a Mar $d %X %Z 2020\n",@t'
}

Yeah but then it isn't funny, and it still doesn't make sense.

I've failed to avoid having to run systems, but at least the new gig
lets me say things like "Oh, that's Windows? I have no idea, and can't
do anything anyway."
Actually there's a lot of "that's not my department so you have to ask >someone who cares." I don't mind that.
Oh and I got married and bought a house, and then immediately quit the >previous gig and good riddance. That was very recovery-inducing.
I remember back in the 80's there was a scary new virus that caused
panic, there were strikes every week, we had a recession, the Russians
were the baddies, and we all feared balloons could start World War
Three[0].
In mid-2020, I confused some younger people in a Web-based discussion
forum. Basically, I posted "I feel like a kid again! Lebanon is
blowing up, the President is on TV saying things that don't make any
sense, and Dr. Fauci is telling us how to beat the virus."
... hosts reported they tested themselves for the recent Plague we all
know so well shortly after we departed, and were positive. I suppose it
was inevitable I'd get it eventually, despite having had four shots (of >course, the last one was quite a while back now). It only manifested as
a bad cold, even in the 89-year-old in the group, thankfully.
