My suggestion is: Do not, Do not regret 2020 and its limitations. Within their framework life is now quite valued by most of us. Work sensibly within the rules. As in any mystery novel, plot what will work for you and your families. Distance, masks, no tasting food...

At 7:300 am today, I rebelled. Despite my desire to escape my home for the great outdoors, I wimped out. I was not quite ready for below freezing walking. So instead, I wrote a poem on winter weather. Writing recaptures my soul to again use weather as inspiration and...
