I went on a quick “vacation” to unwind and leave the pandemic epicenter for a few days. Being in it day in and day out has been tough, taxing, and tumultuous. I didn’t go far. I didn’t need to. It was just about going away. I ended up […]
I very briefly caught the news this morning. I do try to avoid much of it these days. It is repetitive and often devoid of real information. Hence, there is no real point in watching. However, I caught a few minutes this morning. And, I was struck by […]
