North Texans Are Better Prepared For An Unwanted Holiday Guest

Nov 30, 2021 9:30 AM by Jeanne Prejean

Back in December 2019, there were rumblings among the healthcare community of a problem. It was regarding an outbreak of a virus in China that was making its way to Europe. At best, it garnered a small item on the back page of some major American newspapers. It sounded like a case of the flu. Besides, it was on the other side of the world. But by March that situation had … [Read more...] about North Texans Are Better Prepared For An Unwanted Holiday Guest

Nov 10, 2021 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Thursday is Veterans Day and it’s a bit of a mystery on different levels. First of all, the very name. Some claim it’s spelled Veteran’s Day and others say Veterans’ Day. But the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports there is no apostrophe for the day “because it is not a day that ‘belongs’ to veterans. It is a day for honoring all veterans.” Next, the day’s … [Read more...] about Veterans Day Can Confuse Some People On Different Levels

A Gentle Reminder: Whatever You Call This Monday, It’s Still Confusing

Oct 8, 2021 5:30 PM by Jeanne Prejean

Monday is going to be a problem. How’s that? On some calendars it’s Columbus Day; on others it’s Indigenous Peoples Day. Either way the day throws parents and other grownups into a tailspin on what’s open for business and what’s posting “Closed” signs. North Texas, like the most of the states, has never “formally observed” the day as anything other than the day that follows … [Read more...] about A Gentle Reminder: Whatever You Call This Monday, It’s Still Confusing
