Being at ground zero for the governments terror campaign is difficult to say the least. Many of my friends with school age kids are terrified and outraged. I'm concerned about my daughter who teaches middle school.

We spent New Years Eve trying to get over the crud we got during the holidays (most likely originated from the kids traveling). We watched the 2nd to the last episode of Stranger Things, had a pajama pinball party and had Chinese takeout. We made it to midnight!
