Even while many of us continue to celebrate this holiday season, we should all take time to reflect upon a dark day in American history, The Massacre at Wounded Knee in South Dakota.  We could all benefit from a little more sweat; it’s the blood and tears we can do with less.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
