In DC this morning with Mitzi's daughter and son-in-law. Back on the road later this morning. About six hours to Burdett, depending on how long we dawdle for gas and lunch.

It's been kind of depressing being here for me. We went to dinner last night and drove past the building that houses the Heritage Foundation. They had some kind of event and many of their members were standing around. A wave of revulsion overcame me.

Anyway, checked my feeds this morning, and I'm reminded that there's more here than meets the eye.

Commended to your reading are posts from John P. Weiss and Steve Makovsky.

All we ever have are moments to live, and the only power we have is the power to choose. I've been writing about these things for decades now. You'd think I wouldn't need to be reminded of them.

It's different, though. The shadow I cast lies before me now, and I can almost see it lengthen before my eyes.

What to do with the time left?

Not die in Florida is one.
