Cat & Mouse meets Clear as Mud

Posted on Oct 25, 2022Oct 25, 2022 by Bernie

Having spent the last few days in self isolation playing a reverse cat and mouse game where no ones wants to tag the other I am now in a new limbo. That of the “clear as mud” camp where no ones knows what to do with me … almost in a literal sense. Let me explain.
