Happy Veteran's Day!  Thank you, Veterans!!

A perfect way to finish this All-American week:  the PBS Hamilton's America.  Sooo good.  Set aside and hour plus for this fantastic history lesson, as well as thrill for the arts.  (2-minute trailer below, full don't-miss-episode HERE.)
First came indigenous people, then British settlers, then a really big meal, then other stuff, then other stuff, then the United States, and then, eventually, Hamilton, the musical, and this PBS Special.  Enjoy.

IN WITH THE NEW

Last Wednesday, Theresa May on invitation to govern from Queen Elizabeth II, became Britain's new prime minister.  This Brexit is a big deal, lots of change over there, David Cameron resigned, Brit's have differing view of the best next move.  Nonetheless (perhaps with that 'stiff upper lip,' those folk have always been so good at), May said "Britain would 'rise to the challenge ...' " of all there is ahead.    news
