If I took a night off last weekend, I don’t remember it, and I am tired, tired, tired.

So I’m turning tonight’s letter over to my friend Nadia Povalinska, who has recently fled her home in Ukraine, and who has graciously shared her love of her country with me over the years.

I love Nadia’s images of Ukraine, and this one especially. It is from before the war, just a few weeks and a lifetime ago.

I'll see you tomorrow.

My heart goes out to her and to her family. I thank the Ukrainian people for showing what fighting for democracy can look like. Thank you Nadia.
