That would be me. I had the news on during the day: Trump this. Trump that. Thanksgiving. Airports. Highways. Shopping. More Trump. Terror threats.

Kathy’s reception and life celebration. I loaded up the car with a few sculpture and furniture things on Friday night. Earlier that day I went to the library to double-check some things. I wanted to make sure the ConcertWindow streaming would work okay. And I wanted to make sure I knew how to use the video projector, DVD, and sound system… Read more →
