I had a goal of finishing 2 books a week, 104 for the year. We finished 116. Here’s the list.

The Importance of Saving Face… I mean Grace… no Face
I witnessed something amazing today, and I’ll do my best to describe what happened in hopes that you find it equally amazing. The lengths that we humans go to in order to save face are incredible and fascinating.

I posted recently about my goal to finish 2 books per week throughout 2020. We haven’t completed the year yet, but I’m just ahead of schedule.

I just finished reading Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. This is the catalyst that inspired Lin Manuel Miranda to create the Broadway hit, Hamilton.
