I record and then join Angela to make art or dinner, the inedible rainbow of steel flowers a centerpiece for a meal that feeds the body and the soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow I start working on a vaccine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think Globally, Act Locally, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This pandemic thing, it&#8217;s been going on for a while, hasn&#8217;t it?
