Sittin In… A Clinic
Friday was the day Mom had to reschedule an appointment from the day before. If Dad hadn’t have had an agenda of his own that day she would have made it Thursday afternoon, but she canceled it and was fortunately able to find an opening on that Friday morning. Sometimes I feel like I am…

Sitting In… The Lobby

Trump Nominations
The last week has been quite exciting. Seeing the names of those tapped for nominations within Trump’s Administration has been exhilarating. The pace of these declarations have been a stark contrast to the first term’s second hand cabinet names not personally picked by Trump himself. There is a management that Susie Wiles must be in…
