Blog postI was very excited about seeing the meteor shower, and the alignment of the planets to create the heavenly star of the winter solstice this week. But as happens here often in Cleveland’s long winter, the skies were completely opaque with clouds, and the phenomenon was hidden from us.
The next occurrence will be in 2080, so I’ll just have to accept that unless Laurel agrees to have me frozen and defrosted, I won’t be seeing it then.
I can’t be upset or surprised, after all, thi -

Blog postI was chatting with a client earlier and reflecting on the many zoom calls we are involved in daily. Since she did not turn on the video right away I joked and asked if she is still working with her pajamas on.

So, her new habit is to start her zoom calls with the video being turned off.
