The Charles Binder Program
"Yesterday Is Gone" is Charles Binder's personal perspective about politics, art, science, health, the past, the present, and what will probably happen...now that Yesterday Is Gone.
It's a quiet break in your noisy day...a little like what the English might call "Tea Time." But there are no short cuts...no tea bags.
There are some smiles and even a few laughs. But it also packs a powerful punch. So be careful. Sip it and savor it. Don't try to just chug it down.
