Coming home from a week on the road takes some adjustment. Mail (both snail and ‘e’) to be read, pets to be kissed, sleep patterns to return to normal and on and on. Catching up on politics also takes some time and attention. Slicing through the headlines to get to the meat of what’s really happening can be confusing.

If you missed it, catch this two parter.
