A New Quarter

The first 90 days of this year could not have gone worse.  The world was ground to a halt by COVID-19, with an unbearable number of deaths, an uncertain trajectory of future cases, and devastating economic shutdowns.  A promising slate of diverse Democratic presidential candidates was winnowed down to two white guys born in the 1940s.  And basketball icon Kobe Bryant tragically died in a copter crash, along with his daughter and seven others.

Oh what I wouldn't give for a time machine or a do-over.  Instead, we get the start of a new quarter.  Let's hope for better days.
