Freedom
What does freedom mean to you? For many in these mask and vax pandemic times, freedom has come to mean “the right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” However, as we watch in horror as millions of Ukrainians fight for freedom or flee to escape conflict and find freedom, […]

I am registered to Ride to End Cancer, but like tens of thousands of fellow riders, I will instead be following pandemic protocol and avoiding crowds. Both The Ride and being extremely cautious to avoid exposure to Covid are particularly critical for […]

She worked restaurant and catering gigs during her college days and started Bacon & Bakin’ Catering and Cakery. Then she worked for a huge, industrial strength food firm, where sadly she saw lots […]
