     The problem, as I see it, is that we are having difficulty getting past the aphorisms. I see those jewels, those tid-bits of wisdom on Facebook, day after day. Everyone agrees on their validity, but no one agrees on their… Continue reading

     September has arrived. Since the start of this Covid stuff, that was March, it hasn’t really seemed like seasons have come and gone at all. At least it hasn’t seemed that way to me. Spring arrived on schedule but I… Continue reading

     The governor of Maryland announced yesterday that all county schools could go back to in person classes. That was met with some surprise. Some were happy, others were upset. As with everything else today, it seems a lot depends upon… Continue reading
