My poem “Postcard from Pandemic” is up at Vox Populi. I am grateful to editor Michael Simms for his continued support.
I wish you all good health and peace in these troubling times. Take precautions, stay safe!

Signs of Spring, what we all need, though a few more snowstorms may be on the horizon. Personally I would pass up the truffle oil and try to order some real truffles online : )

I bought two bottles of bubbly and some chocolate. Some bean dip, too. There is never enough bean dip.
