On MLK Day I partipate in a community breakfast and am inspired and challenged by the keynote speaker. More info comes out about the boys behaving badly in D.C. And I reflect on how the adults monitoring the kids should be held accountable for poor leadership and wrong judgment.

It's my birthday and I enjoy a quiet and restful day as it is frigid outside. I feel gratitude in celebrating my life today!!!

I respond to the shocking video of the white boys taunting the Native American elder with concern, compassion and hope that this will be a "teaching moment" for us all.

I learn cool things about cheese and whether or not the Ancient Israelites ate cheese.. Listen and learn something new too!

I have some fun with AI generated "inspirational" quotes and reflect on how even apparently wise statements can be created by Artificial Intelligence

I host a set of matches for my In The Know (Quiz Bowl) team and welcome other teams. It goes well even though I'm not felling 100%

I have a cold for the first time in a long while. And like in Episode #59 - my car breaks down in the same place!

I am angry about the ongoing, shameful record-breaking shutdown. So I wrote a prayer I'm offering in each of my classes until it ends.

I am brought to tears hearing "Let Them Come to the Water" sung in mass today. I think about God's call to me to welcome those who come seeking asylum thirsting for peace and safety.

It is the first significant snow fall of the winter and I am reminded of how beautiful a still ❄️ covered field is.
