Birthday Blues...

Not the best of weeks, but today I turn 57. So here's to a super moon and sheep and autumn leaves. Keep the faith, friends. Trust me, the United States of America has seen darker times, even if it doesn't feel like it. I am a professional. I'll take 2017 over 1867 any day. We just have to work harder, be better organized, and yes, be more inclusive. Face it: we cannot appeal to the masses of poor people by offering the status quo. America is NOT great for them, and they are my family, my friends, my neighbors. And so we have to move forward in the ongoing mission to make this a more perfect union. But tonight, leaves, sheep, and a super Moon!
