We all know where we were 19 years ago today.  We still feel that wound in our hearts and cry at the images that will never leave our minds.  In 19 years we've gone from a country united together as Americans to something that resembles a third world country in some of our cities.

We're starting off this week with a realization that there are always folks out there who are going through stuff you can't imagin, and they are doing it just the same.  What is your excuse?

It's Monday and the world is still coming apart at the seems.  Kids are going "back" to school virtually and businesses are trying to come back from the economic destruction of the political pandemic.

So many people are today where I was a year ago.  Waking up to an uncertain future with little to no support structure in place.  Feeling totally isolated and alone on a stormy sea.

He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword... Matthew 26:52

In this day and age, we don't use the sword that often, but we certainly are a data driven society.  People are complaining that we don't have enough of this or that, or that someone screwed up and we should have had enough toilet paper to go around the world 12 times,  The reality is simply that as our world has grown more reliant on data...for everything... that events such as the Coronavirus more easily catch us unawares and we simply don't have the reserves to address those instant needs for 20x of what we needed last month.

What is your new normal?  For so many of us, that means a virtual lockdown inside our homes.  But in this episode, I'm going to talk about some technology that can expand your boundaries.

This one is a bit of a rant.  Going on wrapping up week two in social distanced isolation, we're getting a bit stir crazy here.  

So what do you do when they send your kids home from school without a plan?  Shut down all major businesses in town and the strip is boarded up and silent?

Shelter in Place, Don't go Out, Ensure Social Distancing.... Seriously people?  Why are you running to the store to stand in line with 2-300 other people at 6am to  buy 20 rolls of toilet paper.  It's not like we're dealing with Cholera here.
