When my mother first became a snowbird at my house in Florida, she decided to learn how to use a computer by writing a cookbook for the family. Her cookbook is full of family stories and memories as well as recipes.

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

The first church I served as pastor about 40 years ago had a traditional first hymn EVERY Sunday morning, "Happy Birthday to you..." I'm listening to their service online today, and find that the tradition continues. (Groan)

The most lingering pain for me over the past two and a half years has been that of being an academic in exile. I know I’m not alone in this as higher education is undergoing so many shifts, and many have found themselves in similar straits.
