I will miss this holiday season. At the same, I’m thankful for it. This 2026, I will do the best I can to update my social media accounts, most especially my Instagram. As you can see, I’m starting all over again here. Please watch this space in the coming weeks. To quote the iconic Robert Downey Jr., “New mask, same task.”
