"their lives returned to the sweet gravities of home and family and loved ones". Every sentence a painting, your writing is masterful. Congratulations to you and your lovely wife, Robin, on a match that appears to be made in Heaven.

Love this. Put it into cliff notes and send to Donald, as he probably would be brain fried reading so much of his truth and eventual reckoning.

I didn't need to read the byline to know that Rick Wilson had written this piece. " "The Boss doesn't care about ratings", he said, and his voice had in it the flat slap of oars on a morning lake." Line after line of just perfect, lyrical, evocative prose woven through an essay that point blank pillories the foibles of the Orange Buffoon. I will be thinking about the lines in this piece all day long. Thank you for sharing it with your readers.

Have you ever read Dialogs with the Devil by Taylor Caldwell? You will find it simpatico.

Well done, Rick!

But, how the hell do you find time for this?

I have been very busy, especially today. President Lincoln was good and decent person. Infact. Related to him. Like the celebrity, Tom Hanks. Still trying to recover with this nasty bug. Thank for your patience though, all of this. Take care. I will be listening or reading your articles.
