Risky, indeed! With all due respect to David, I’m 70 years old, and it’s been my long lived experience that those who blow their own horns are nearly, if not always hubristic windbags full of hyperbolic hot air. My gratitude for your diplomatically defensive posture. You helped curb me from blowing my ‘substack’.

Biden, with his subsequent post, David went from bad to worse. This time biting my tongue was very difficult. Thanks for the support.

Rob, (who didn't want to comment further 'out of respect for Matt' as if Matt gives a hoot) can you please cancel me now....I wanna feel what it feels like, you know, participate fully in woke culture...

I C. Self restraint is a virtue that reinforces self esteem. Congratulations on the virtuous exercise of it. For the support: y/w. (I can see that I’m going to have to change my username!)

Stating the obvious is tantamount to being redundant. (Not a reference to your chronological maturity, but to your talent.)

Again, stating the obvious is tantamount to being redundant. Besides, dueling can be done in numerous ways and take as many forms. The challenged is traditionally given the choice of weapons. My choice would be wit, but I refuse to face an unarmed opponent, so it’s not a bad idea. It’s an unworkable idea.

😂 Old dogs know old tricks best. All the bloody while, you didn’t honestly think that I was joking, did you?

Btw, I love your command of the lexicon and literary style. I’m impressed!

That’s very kind of you to say, and very observant too. What are we all doing here? Is it gonna start soon? FB this and FB that - are we bonkers?

🤷🏽‍♂️ Idk. Could be starting any minute. I wouldn’t be surprised! I’m just sit’n here watch’n the wheels go ‘round and ‘round. I really love to watch them roll. Finally climbed off that old merry-go-round. I just HAD to let IT go.

FB that, and FB this don’t matter much to me. Right now, I’m hearing the rain beating against my windowpane, so I’m thinking of trees sway’n in a Summer breeze, show’n off their silver leaves as I pass by.

The thought of posting a picture of it on FB never even enters my head. Lying here in bed, I’d rather think pleasant thoughts, instead.

Like taking in my head a trip around Frisco Bay, and being able to get back all in one day. Kinda sounds like maybe I’m a little bonkers, don’t it? 🤣 😂
