My thanks

My thanks to Margaret and Helen, two wonderful ladies that I was previously unfamiliar with, and have not had the pleasure of communicating with. I’m not thanking them for the blog hits — though those are very nice — but for the unparalleled ability to make light of the American political situation; I’m thanking them for existing and for their friendship to one another and belief in the rest of us to laugh it off or to be with stupid. So, wonderful ladies who have been friends for more than half a century, please continue your friendship, to yourselves and to all of us.
