I’m in a rather somber mood today.  I’ve just come home from a visitation for a 27 year old woman who was killed in a car accident caused by icy roads.    Even though we live in a digital world, hundreds of people were waiting 2 hours plus to personally greet Amy’s family and offer their condolences.   So, let’s… Read more »
