On this week's Curmudgeon's Corner, Sam and Ivan have two "heavy" topics: The Atlanta massage parlor killings, and worldwide covid trends heading upward again. But on the lighter side, Sam reviews a book, and the curmudgeons discuss the dynamics of video conferences versus audio conferences. Plus a couple of bonus mini-segments on Daylight Saving Time and Sam's email. All the usual sorts of fun things! But shorter this time! No cookies were harmed in the making of this podcast.
