2023 Year in Review

2021 Year In Review
This past year has been an educational one to say the least. I believe that the pandemic is here to stay and while it may be diluted in the future, the influence of the pandemic will be cemented in my mind and influence my life forever as I am sure many of you. We can... Continue Reading →
Culpability
