My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
A Saturday
that is sunny, with deep blue sky. Nice!
Flashback: Eleven years ago, I posted on Facebook: “It
is time to tone down the rhetoric.” Things haven’t changed in over a decade.
Sad.
The judge in
the Ahmaud Arbery murder trial held a powerful moment of silence before
sentencing the killers to life in prison. WOW!
Looking
forward to a quiet week ahead.
