In late December and early January, I have made it a practice here on this website to review the year that has just ended. I truly debated whether or not I wanted to review 2020. It’s an awful year, catastrophic for some and just plain terrible for others. Some have had a few uplifting things happen, but for the most part, people worldwide have merely […]
