Share
My brother has a little unsolved mystery in his life. It has perplexed him for almost 25 years. I know the answer, but I won’t tell, and I hope you won’t either.
In June 1995 he turned 40 years old. Back then, 40 was a dreaded milestone, a halfway marker in life. I wanted to surprise him in an unexpected way. I mentioned my desire to my neighbor Hannah, a diva of creativity. Immediately she signed on to be my accomplice.

Corona has tortured the entire world in horrific measures, and is now getting ready for the final kill. The pandemic is going to ruin our festive season, as never before. It is nobody’s fault but that is how fate had decided to throw the dice. Of course, in many countries the battle against Corona raged yo-yoing between winning and losing. Most preventive actions and Covid 19 treatments were more like Russian Roulette. While the medical world was fighting against time to find a cure, the unknown menace was spreading and killing people. That has been the story of the year 2020 for most, a time of trauma and sorrow that completely engulfed the entire planet. Yet, there is hope in the horizon as vaccine solutions are making their stealthy appearances. We are now in the interim period till Pfizer or its
