With the new lockdown things are going to be interesting. The kids will be attending school from home which is always a lot of fun. The nice thing is that they tend to bother Melanie and not me. I do not talk to them when they enter my office and tell them to leave. Normally…
Today is the last day of the year and it has been quite an experience this year. When I began the year I thought that I was just dealing with a stomach ulcer and nothing more serious than that. It did not seem like it was going to be that big of a deal. An…
