What’s your Quarantine story?
Future generations are going to ask us “What did you do during Quarantine?” Twenty years from now, just like those of us who now share our 9/11 stories, everyone will have a Quarantine story. So what will I say? What's my Quarantine story? I'm not sure I know. Here's what I do know.

The culture we are creating
by Lori Twichell You may think you know what I’m going to address in this article. After all, it’s what everyone is talking about today. But you might be surprised at where I’m going with it. Just stick with me – even if things get a little uncomfortable. If the big game last night brought in the viewing numbers that it usually does, over 100 million people from around the globe joined together to watch this extravagant, over the top piece of entertainment. People who hate football tuned in for the commercials and the hype. People who love football obviously had their part to watch. And there was, as always,…

Throwback to that Time When…
Have you noticed that it seems like every social app these days likes to remind you of where you were at this time ‘XY’ number of years ago? I mean Facebook shows me my updates and I get photo reminders from the app I use to store photos. Friends share their updates and their photos which bring up my history as well. Normally I love those, but this time of year is always a bit of a mixed bag for me. No matter what I was doing 5 or 7 or 10 years ago, I can pretty much nail every detail from where I was 4 years ago. The spring…
