I’m traveling this week and don’t have time to write a full newsletter, but I wanted to share this terrific CBS News report on boys. It’s a 43-minute news special that I think is worth your time.
As always, I LOVE AND APPRECIATE the folks who pitch in a little bit to keep this newsletter going. Thank you!
