Losing The COVID 19
It’s a new year, a time when many are determined to kick-start their fitness routines.
This year’s resolution may be particularly meaningful. Here’s an example: One of the most self-deprecating moments I witnessed last year came during a Park Hill Town Hall meeting, via Zoom. A number of people were queued up to speak, including one neighbor who couldn’t get her video to work.
