Poverty
I am not sure if my frustration is more with myself, the programs, or people in general. The issue is the poverty I see all around. And no, I am not talking about finances.
My Beautiful View
I spent last night at Weber’s Inn of Ann Arbor. No – Monica did not ask for a “little space” or a “little time for me to be away.” Retirement is going very well. We (at least, I – I probably should not be proclaiming an assumption here … though we…
