Some thoughts as we wrap up 2022
2022 hasn’t been the worst year. I feel like 2020 will always take the cake on that one. But here we are, two more years done, wrapping it up to start the next, like we do every year. I think, though, that the time comes round much faster each year. What a wild ride. For … Read More
