And, as Walter Cronkite would have said, that's the way it is for Saturday, March 18th, 2021. I hope you enjoyed my little attempt to distract you from the cornucopia of bad news that surrounds us. Be sure to come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday, where we get things moving with a little Uptown Funk. More thoughts then.
