On this Grammys Weekend, I recall attending the show as a news manager and meeting music legends, but this is not the time to drop names. There is one song from long ago, which may not have won multiple awards, but is very special in my professional life.

Modesty, or being demure, is a mode of dress and deportment that intends to avoid the encouraging of sexual attraction in others. It comes from the Latin word Modestus which means keeping within a measure.

POTUS average job-approval ratings among GOP in his third year in office was 89 percent. Among Democrats, it was Only 7 percent.

Robert Mueller found 10 instances of Trump obstructing justice. The Russians are sabotaging our Democracy.

These alarming numbers may continue to grow as long as #USA voters keep believing Russian Propāganda.

I assume Einstein researcher friends, who once invited me to play a board game called Pandemic had no idea how close this would get to becoming a reality. The cooperative game Is played by helping friends beat a specific decease.
