Welcome to The Village Oak Tree

I am your host, Terrance Ó Domhnaill.

Here we are, entering the Ides of March, as the old saying goes. The sun has been shining a wee bit where I am, along with rising temperatures. And I'm a few days behind on my normal schedule this week.

I'm still dealing with home repairs caused by climate change this winter and I'm not done yet. But the work I needed to do to date did cause an interruption in my normal schedule. With everything that's going on in my household, and the world at large, I shouldn't be too awfully worried about this minor hiccup. Given the way things are moving so fast, this may not be the last schedule disruption I will incur this year.

I managed to find a handful of news stories from across the spectrum, in between my work schedule, to point out how all of this is going to affect average citizens around the world.

Once I've finished talking about the stories I found for this week, I would ask everyone to stick around through my commercial break so I can read to you another chapter of The Priest, from Michael Campi.

So, come sit you down somewhere in a patch of spring sunshine, or a warm cozy spot if you live in the more northern climates, and let me regale you with what I have found.
