youtube.com May be worth a visit. Or, of course, we could give you a lesson via Zoom, much like you give your students a French lesson. Immersive.

Hard to say whether this is compelling or not. It will probably only come out on DVD, if it becomes available on Netflix at all.

      People of privilege are those that temporarily have the luxury of “being cautious.” What is breaking my heart is that beyond the gig workers, who have become essential “front-line” employees, is the rampant rate of the disease in prisons, assisted living c...
