Happy 2022 Jan 13

It can't be any worse than 2020 or 2021 can it -- the Pandemic years. Look on the positive

side -- in the last 24 + months there has been more persistent and sustained creativity than years

previous , all due to forced homeboundness and nothing much else to concentrate on . Everyone

and his mother have been writing songs, painting art masterpieces, podcasting , cooking up a storm--

like neverbefore. Why? because when the 'creative' get thwarted is when they shine , when they

really kick into gear. And when you throw in 'more time', a bit of solitary confinement, better sleep,

and surfeit of family closeness, the juices MUST flow. Even book authors are not immune :)
