The events of the past week are depressing to say the least. But–in an effort to get some relief from bleak headlines–we offer a lighter fare. We hope this works for you…

We hope you enjoyed these comments. And we offer them partially as preparation for the rest of today’s postings. Warning: they are heavy. We focus on what we see as a reality for many of these issues. So take a deep breath, be tolerant in your criticism and understand that we offer “another view” because we know media fails miserably in that regard…we may be wrong and the difference is we accept that reality.
