| DAWN OF A FINE WINTER DAY |
Happy anniversary Joan, and thanks for putting up with me all these forty-four years! We have a joke about our wedding that we have been tossing back and forth between us from the very first day. When we said our marriage vows, Joan had no trouble with any of the traditional pronouncements until she got to “for richer or….” Then she had great difficulty getting the “poorer” out. The best that she could do was to stutter a barely audible, “p.;p..p...p….poorer.” She must have had a premonition.
After watching the Republican presidential candidates debate again last night on CNN (we’re starting to know all their lines by heart) we have concluded that the candidate we want is an amalgam of the various traits and policies of the remaining four: the fire and mental quickness of Gingrich; the calm deliberativeness and executive experience of Romney; the constitutional certitude and devotion to individual liberty of Ron Paul; and the moral clarity and middle class values of Santorum. Don’t think we’ll find the ideal, but maybe each could learn from the others and one finally rise to the top.
