It has been a busy day. Busy month, Busy few years.
It is of course good to be busy. Thank goodness for work. On the other hand it would be nice to be on this boat. Of course that is me sitting in the middle of the boat. You can see the outline, can't you?
I have always liked William F. Buckley, Jr. I like his voice. I like his use of words and is tone and the way he has of using his entire body and soul to make his points.
