Shout out to all road workers and other support people and workers outside in this frigid weather! This month, I particularly appreciate and commend the workers on the Gates Land Bridge. Stay safe out there.
Meanwhile, inside, I reflect on the beauty of the seasons and the promise of warmer days ahead.
