On Second Acts and Such

When my mom was in her mid-50s, and all four of her “chickens” had finally flown the coop, she decided to go to graduate school and study English literature.

2018: A Year in Observations

By Margaret Evans, EditorIt’s time, once again, to honor the tradition I started last year. (Two years in a row is a tradition, right?)
