Spring has sprung here, and everything is a bright young green.
Going to leave you with a photo from this year’s first trip out on the water, late one afternoon this week, while I see about catching up on some sleep.
I’ll see you tomorrow.

Sweet dreams Professor and all who walk the bridge to Truth and Justice. Today’s image, a stone bridge over still water, reminds me of working together, collaboration. Martin Luther King: “Let’s build bridges, not walls.” Isn’t that what we witnessed with the debt ceiling agreement? President Biden is the shining star of bridge building. He may be criticized for an imperfect agreement, too much, not enough, not standing up, or standing too long. He knows the process. President Biden, Oval Office, June 2, 2023: “Look, the only way American Democracy can function is through compromise and consensus, and that’s what I worked to do as your President- you know, to forge a bipartisan agreement where it’s possible and where it’s needed.”
