Morning again. Hey, great job on the inter-murals last week to all of our students. Great showing by everybody, and I know it's not easy competing against schools where they have entire funding departments dedicated to sports.
Which is a great way to bring the discussion around to some lighter topics.
Cuomo, Schumer, CNN
Oh yeah it's about the Big Dog..

Something/Someone Old
My Something Old today is the song Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel. He wrote it just after he left Genesis in the mid-70s.
I just read JtC’s rant and started to compose a comment.
President Trump is true to his word in one case.
No, he isn't draining the swamp. Washington has never been more corrupt.
What I am talking about is rolling back those free trade agreements.
