We must get the response to #COVID19 pandemic right. We must value the lives of our elders while carefully reopening the economy. The life of my aunt with late-stage dementia has as much value as mine. This is a moment that will reveal whether we are a great nation — or not.

Honoring my mom and dad on #MemorialDay. They both have passed on, but we remember what they taught us about service and duty. Thanks, Bettie and 1LT Dean Matheney, #USArmy. We miss you.

A proper memorial. We must not forget them. @nytimes #COVID19 #MemorialDay2020

Just finished Upstream: The Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen by #DanHeath. An important book for the #COVID19 era. Strongly recommend it to problem-solvers, and that must be all of us. #books #heathbrothers @AvidReaderPress

@thephilacitizen @Phillies @PhilliesNation @PHLSportsNation @PHLPhilNation @JSalisburyNBCS @ToddZolecki Good news, indeed! But I was more of an #APBA baseball kid. I spent hours playing a whole season in the pre-rotisserie league era.

This is why we must take #COVID19Pandemic seriously. Its lethality is dangerous. Some leaders and TV doctors seem to have forgotten that the first US #COVID death was reported on 2/29. Only 7 weeks later 33,000 Americans have died. #ScienceMatters #nottheflu Thanks @tnajournal
