“See – this is the great part, because it took this long, now we learned how to govern. So now we’ll be able to get the job done.” — Kevin McCarthy after the 13th ballot. He finally won on the 15th.
Thanks very much. The writing's always been essential to me, but while I was working, most of it (other than occasional short blog posts) went into work-related stuff (every memo and report was an exercise in creative writing). When I retired late in 2017, I continued with some professional responsibilities for years, so it's only been since last May that I've been free of outside deadlines and commitments. It's a luxury and I don't take it for granted for a second.
You're a thoughtful and engaging writer, Scott.
