Happy New Year’s Eve, friends.
Thank you so much for sharing your time – your most precious gift – with me, whether it’s a Tuesday or a Saturday morning or each weekday online.
This time a year ago, we all were hopeful that 2021 would be filled with more promise than the 2020 that made every human aware of a new, deadly and contagious virus and acutely familiar with where Wuhan, China, is located.
But by lots of measures, 2021 was every bit as bad.
The pandemic continued with a nasty variant, delta. Then another variant spurred another spike. We learned of variants that shared names with fraternities, airlines and heavy metal bands.
