No commercial has ever been less effective to my purchasing decisions than “Experience Abu Dhabi”. If someone gave me free tickets & accommodations, I’d try to cash in the tickets for credit to fly someplace else. If that failed, I’d let the trip expire.

On Thanksgiving, I want to share something I have to keep re-learning.
Thankfulness (gratitude) is the greatest force to turn misery & despair into peace & power to cope with life’s troubles.
I am thankful for Mary & Madison. I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for my friends. Solidarity.

1/ I’m proud to be quoted by Joe Walsh of @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy on the glaring defects in Trump’s accusations of “sedition” against six Democratic members of Congress who urged troops not to follow illegal orders.

Accusations of "sedition" spark uproar after video on refusing illegal orders. Here's what the law says.
Six Democratic lawmakers are facing federal inquiries after they recorded a video urging military service members not to follow unlawful orders, a message President Trump alleged was "seditious."

Last night, my wife and I shared the late train back into our rural town with a very famous model (with her fiance) who lives in the town next door. She was at the top of the heap in the 1980s. You might think I'm crazy, but we left her alone.
She is beautiful in person.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
