GREETINGS RENOGADES! So, it looks like the last time I wrote one of these journal entries waaaasss, whoa...... way back in Jan. 2020. Ahh, yes, ... in "The Before Times." Written in a moment where I was reflecting on the previous decade and rhapsodizing about the decade ahead like an optimistic sap. Yeah, well... there's a famous saying that goes, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."
