🎉A Most Unreliable Narrator Issue #167 2023’s Wonderful Things🌟

I like wonderful things and lists and I cannot lie

Welcome to A Most Unreliable Narrator, the slice-of-life newsletter of GenXer around town, Lisa Rabey. I talk about anything and everything with a bit of swears. I’m glad you’re here.

Dear Internet,

Over at NPR, Linda Holmes, who writes and hosts NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, put together a list of 50 wonderful things for 2023. Since I conclude every AMUN newsletter with a wonderful thing, I decided the last AMUN issue for 2023 should be my own list of wonderful things!  

In no particular order, here are the things I found to be wonderful in 2023:
