I find that when I post more than one piece in a day, no one reads the first one. So, people, backtrack a little because I’d like some feedback on the post entitled “A Response to A Conservative Columnist." Thankee kindly.

Elsewise, Joan leaves today and, as always, one week with any guest is just about right and I get my bathroom back, not a minute too soon. A while back, Ed decided not to join a re-enactment group at Gettysburg. On learning they would camp out on the battleground and recreate the conditions of the 1860s, he said, “No way. I’m Jewish. I need my own bathroom.” The other factor was that he had hoped to meet people as interested in Civil War history as he was, but the participants he saw were the tattooed wonders of the world, dreaming about reversing the facts and beating back the Union Army. No like minds there.

Distractions have contributed to not doing as much exercise, so I will be back on track tomorrow. I think.
