We’ve been counting since the Pesach (Passover) Seder. (Which, unfortunately for the second year in a row had to be held over Zoom. Since only I was fully vaccinated. This pandemic must go.) 50 days after we were freed from Egypt (Mitzrayim- a place of narrow straits), we were waiting by Mount Sinai (sorry- NOT in the “Sinai Peninsula”, more likely in Saudi Arabia, near an active volcano), to receive the 10 Commandments. Where the words were seen- yes, seen. I admit, until I saw the effects of a rocket plant explosion in Henderson, Nevada, I had no idea you really could see “sound”.

But, that’s not the point of today’s blog.

I had been attending a bunch of professional meetings lately (no, not in person; virtually). And, it seems that the pandemic has brought new focus to the management of their businesses. (It’s about time!)
