Thanks, Richard. While he may have sparked the idea, it reminded me of many others.

Wow ... a wonderful blend of empathy and being in the moment, even if it is someone else's moment.

Thank you, Mary. So hard to see someone declining, and hard to imagine how that feels.

Thank you! This was not ME, BTW... responding to the Mitch McConnell "freeze."

I assumed you were talking about Mr. McConnell. I appreciated that no matter what I or anyone thinks of his politics, you were able to take a very different perspective and brought humanity back to someone with whom I don’t usually feel a generosity of spirit. I sincerely appreciated recognizing that perspective.

Great empathy. Had not thought about how scary that must have been for him.
