Sympathy & Sorrow and a Vacation Announcement

"Why go on vacation when work is so much more fun."

-- Taylor Hawkins

I don’t have words other than platitudes to express my sorrow and sympathy for the tragedy in Orlando this past weekend.  So I created the picture below and used a phrase that James Corden, the presenter at the Tony Awards, said.  I thought the photo of the Taj Mahal, a symbol of enduring love, was an appropriate image for conveying my sentiments against the violence and bigotry that struck the Pulse nightclub.

On another note... I’d like to let readers know that between now and the end of July, I’ll be taking a vacation from posting weekly, which I've been doing for over a year now.  There are many good reasons for taking a vacation and you can read how a vacation promotes health, creativity, happiness, productivity, and an improved home life here and here.
