The good news is if you scored at well, you can switch over to the Spring Break mentality . . .  but please do it following pandemic guidelines.  Anyone who wants to go to the beach, you’re welcome to come to my house.  The bad news is you’ll have to take a year-old hyperactive Goldendoodle with you.

“Will you not help me hasten the day when there shall be no preventable blindness; no little deaf, blind child untaught; no blind man or woman unaided? I appeal to you Lions, you who have your sight, your hearing, you who are strong and brave and kind. Will you not constitute yourselves Knights of the Blind in this crusade against darkness?”
