If anyone is going to make a New Year’s resolution that should be it.

Too bad Joe isn't working for the National Park Service in Hyde Park. Wonderful place to visit, year after year.

I remember listening to the history of Top Cottage in Hyde Park, it was obvious the ranger loved his job and the visitors loved listening to him. We miss our yearly trip to Hyde Park.

We have found that with Joseph as well. First at Grant Cottage, then at Gettysburg and now in San Antonio. He really is all in and trying to tell the stories as best he can.

Thanks for staying in the game. I appreciate your input. I am sure being liberated from the direction newspapers have gone in their attempts to stay alive must help. I hope the best for the new year as well but I must admit that I am not very optimistic. It appears too many have chosen paths that divide communities rather than bring us together. Everything has been politicized and polarized from masks and vaccines to what should and shouldn’t be taught in schools. Yesterday saw over 600,000 new Covid cases. Who knows what the new year will bring with this; especially since we are told that every new case brings the potential for a new variant. One thing is for sure: if we don’t begin to care for each other better than we have recently, we are still in trouble.

I agree, but for those of who are vaccinated, we can feel a little more confident about living our lives. Remember, it is always darkest…..

Part of getting vaccinated and wearing a mask is about caring for others.
