It’s pretty odd to think that we’re coming to the tail end of 2020. For one thing, things have actually picked up here considerably in UMC Land in December, with more live streams and all sorts of other fun on our plates. Imagine that — a December that actually gets busier as it goes.

Then, no matter what happens from there, please do everything you can to find peace, love, and understanding with your fellow citizens. The country and the world needs that right now.
