Turning Inward.

This is such an odd time. It is less than 3 weeks until our presidential election, and most everybody just seems haggard. But not everybody. Not our youth. They have not been hindered by the realities that wear on the rest of us, and I remember that age. The age of certainty. The age of…

Officially, summer ends September 22.
