Algorithms

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/sunday-poser/ I value on-line privacy. Although, it is difficult for us to keep that intact.

Rain, Rain

Written for https://jewishyoungprofessional.wordpress.com/2024/01/03/jyprovocative-question-17-low-tech/ My low-tech possession I couldn’t do without is a must in England.

The next day walls were beingContinue reading “Rain, Rain”
