I still haven’t watched BABYLON, but I recently rewatched TRON: LEGACY with the family and we all agree it’s still super-good.

A few years ago I read the 1946 book, Man’s Search for Meaning, written by holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl. It helped me understand the importance of doing and sharing positive things and continuing work on creating projects during difficult times.
