Last Post of the Year

I’m not going to turn this into a “Year in review” post – primarily because I haven’t done the research. Maybe that’ll come next Sunday, or maybe not. What I did want to say is coming at you in two parts. Part #1 THANK YOU!!! Thank you for being a reader. Seriously. There are nearly …

Say It

Last night, there was some discussion on Twitter about the upcoming holiday and staying safe in the face of the pandemic and I tweeted that I selfishly wanted to see all of my internet friends on the tail end of the holidays and that I loved them all. I saw that post this morning. The …
