September 17, 2015 By Nancy Bailey 9 Comments

I did not remain glued to the screen when the debate was on last night, so when I stepped away, maybe it was then that they mentioned education and public schools. I must have missed it. Yes. I’m sure that was it. My guess is that they thoroughly discussed, at some point, the backbone of […]

Dear @chicagosmayor
I did not swim at the beach, cut my hair, eat indoors, see my sister, grocery shop ...

Followed all the directives, to keep our city and fellow healthcare workers safe.
