I hadn’t thought of that David and now I do.
Oh well such is life that my hellacious mess outlives me.

Mark, wise words and ones to hold onto.
I really feel like this marks a change, a (not so subtle) shift in the way our story was playing out.
I have hope now for Europe that I was losing by increments due to the rise of populism. This may be just wild optimism that C19 can beat this back but it may work and I hope the same can be said of the US, unless the carbuncle that is Trump pulls something amazing out of his bag of tricks.

Stay safe people!
