Thursday, December 31, 2020 - Twenty Questions from Twenty-Twenty.

Purely off the cuff here; twenty questions to ponder as the year turns from ‘20 to ‘21; god-willing, we’ll answer these twenty Q’s this time next year, and also add one more Q for good measure. Twenty-twenty has been our year to grow, change, stabilize and evolve. Looking forward to wrapping up and sending out Issue No. 8 - 2020 in the coming days; and even more so, to getting back on track, steadying the course, and bringing you three (if not four) issues for 2021. Happy New Year to all. Thank you reading, writing, contributing and supporting this endeavor over these last twelve months.

All of our best,
