SAN ANTONIO – We did it! We made it to January 2021 after what feels like the world’s longest year.
Last year, we can all agree, was a mess. For many reasons that we won’t be discussing in this article because we don’t need to look back on that dumpster fire of a year. (Though it wasn’t ALL bad, it definitely was not the kick-off to a new decade most people had in mind.)
