Good Read
Every article in the Jan. 21-27, 2026 edition is fantastic. Nikki, Kanner, Reiff. But I want to discuss and marry Howell, the author of AI. He mirrors my sentiments that no younger person working at my senior residence has—whether they’re heads down at the computer, trying to get with it or teaching us the resident app, while not getting distracted by human interaction—had time or interest in hearing. Bravo.

All We Need
Regarding “Mindfulness Won’t Pick One Up from Marin Hospital” (Open Mic, Jan. 14, 2026): The author, Kurt Umbhau, is an enlightened Buddhist. Don’t belittle oneself by arguing over this—he is—just recognize it. He took the time to share his experience here and proves again, The Beatles were on it: All we need is love. Glad it came to him. We should all be as blessed.
