Wishful Thinking: Matters I Wish To Undertake

In many respects the coronavirus crisis has effectively derailed most planning that I have had. For several months earlier in 2020 planning became so short-term that I could not plan beyond the next daily press conference by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Original plans for this part of 2020 would have had me in a far different place than I am right now.

These were not the adventures I expected. I do not know what awaits. I'm not sure what I want to do as I have spent too much of this year reacting instead of acting. Spending six years in a job where I had to self-redact and mute myself daily did not help me either.
