While I was taking my leave of the online world this weekend, another ‘rona variant arrived on the scene, designated Omicron (o), which a much scarier sounding greek letter than Delta (δ), even if we don’t know much of anything about it and it’s actual impact just yet.

For a short holiday week, I’ve been awfully busy at work trying to line all kinds of things up for the end of the calendar year slow season.
