I have missed my friends Oak Hill School and this afternoon’s social (this is one of five faculty/staff groups) was a fun way to reconnect. Strange time for all of us but the power of connection remains.

Just eavesdropped on my first-grader’s morning meeting via Zoom. Warmed my heart to hear the children’s voices talking and then singing together! Oak Hill School

John Prine had the unique ability to tell the truth about the world while maintaining a twinkle in his eye. His songs are echoing thru our house today. A sad day. John Prine, Who Chronicled the Human Condition in Song, Dies at 73 nyti.ms/2Rj7NdB
