Over the weekend, my cousin Tony (from Arizona) dropped in for a little business (on Monday) and a quick weekend visit with friends and family (us). I hadn’t seen my cousin since 1971! (That’s 48-odd years!! for you math challenged readers.) Anyway, we went out to lunch and to support my brother-in-law who was playing in a “teachers” band at a charity event (and beer tasting). He teaches music in one of the local school districts and he’s part of a orchestra of teachers from the various school districts in the Oakland, California area. | |

The music was good and lively. The beer and wine tasting was excellent. (I was told… I was driving.) And, a great time was had by all. I made my cousin promise not to wait another 48 years to visit us again and he promised he wouldn’t. | |

Senate Republicans: Impeachment – Because It Is Right!

Cowardice asks the question – is it safe? Expediency asks the question – is it politic? Vanity asks the question – is it popular? But conscience asks the question – is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but one must take it because it is right. | |
