My son and I love reading books together, and I think the books we enjoy the most are the ones I sing to him. These come in handy especially around sleepy-times, before his afternoon nap or bedtime.

For the past several months, I’ve found myself substituting the word “crisis” in place of “pandemic,” solely because in my opinion I believe the latter has, in many ways, lost all sense of urgency and concern. I despise the term “the new normal” (that was a short-lived sitcom on NBC starring Andrew Rannells, not a

Illustrated folios and wooden plates have been categorized as important artistic and political devices since the early points in most civilizations.
