    Happy New Year! Joyce and I have been thinking a lot about how to improve ourselves and this podcast to kick-start the new year. So even though I'm sure we would all like to move on swiftly from the train wreck of 2020, we thought we'd take some time to reflect on the challenges we faced, how we overcame them (or just coped), and how we and the world around us have changed as a result.
