@AaronLecklider I'm in New England for a visit (portsmouth tonight). Glanced up from reading in my hotel room a couple hours ago and was stunned by this sky. Beauty.

My best friend of ten years (!) @IsaacFitzgerald texted me Monday “Are you free Wednesday?” Um, yeah, sure. Homeboy drove eight hours just to hang out with me in Columbus for a day. I hope you all have great, enduring friendships in your lives.

@JJRodV @UnionSeminary Are there one or two texts you might recommend, for getting some sense of key factors, ideas ,or trends? (No pressure!)

Much of D.C. is already looking at how they can move him out of the way rather than sending prayers for a fellow human being. I'll be praying, and pushing, as he receives access to the best healthcare possible, that he becomes a supporter of healthcare for all. (2/2)

Too many things I regret saying, doing, thinking in my 20's. Half my life later, I still work on not remembering the worst thing about friends Back Then. Good advice on self-check:
