Blog posts for April 2022

In April, Cherry and I got slammed by COVID.  We were down for a couple of weeks each. Not fun.  Especially when Cherry is absolutely flat out with work, and we were getting ready to go to Vietnam for two months. I’m writing this in HaNoi.  We managed, and now we are back to full strength.  It was good timing to get COVID over with before we traveled.  Look for the up-side.

Our big news for April was the S&T Happens book was published, just in time for Ramadan, Passover, Easter, or your festivity of choice. Happy reading! Please give feedback. S&T Happens: Surviving and Thriving in a VUCA World is available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback in English.  It will be out in Vietnamese in 2022.
