There will be no post today, other than to say how grateful I am for all of you, for turning AZ blue, for a new administration coming in that has experience, dignity, and compassion, for my health and the well being of my family and friends, for the baby gestating in the belly of my…
By: Robin J. Engel “Attention, Ladies and Gentlemen. Is there anyone on this plane that would like to take a later flight in return for a $500 voucher?
