Sorry, Listener, I know you don't like multiple posts in a day. My defense is a little embarrassing - brain fog. I didn't think clearly enough to get the present post up in time to start the day. And yet it seemed important. So, here we are on the second post of the day.
ReplyDeleteIt's fine. I was reflecting on it today, in fact, because on Monday my SIL turns 70. I was thinking how cool it was that the I Have a Dream speech happened on her 10th birthday! I bet she never got that date wrong on an exam! Ha!

ReplyDeleteAgreed!

DeleteReply on previous thread.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bill.

ReplyDeleteI thought this was handled really well by all concerned.
DeleteAlan, I hope you aren't being kept off the blog again!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got to have an evening outside eradicating weeds.
Yes, and nice weather for it. Also got in our morning constitutional and all my standard exercises. Just didn't see as much as some days to contribute.
