So, I am recording this podcast outside of my regular weekly schedule in response to current events ( yes, Covid-19, the the cancelation of work, and school, the waves the outbreak is causing, but also the stock market crash, The Harvey Weinstein sentence, and the rain in LA that has made an appearance in the ceiling, walls, and floor of my second bedroom. My hope is that this episode will be a friend by your side, even if you're sitting alone, and a tool for you in troubling times. Thanks for listening!
