Poor babies in Los Angeles.  We still don't have Hamilton playing in our theaters!  Onward and upward.  Let's celebrate Presidents' Day nonetheless!   Really, officially George Washington's birthday.  Thank you, General Washington.  You'da man!    link

Principle in the type:  "Even today we really do follow the model of the executive, from what Washington established so many years ago. . . . Allowing everyone to have their own influence in policy is, uh, is pretty significant."        Christopher Jackson    (Hamilton's original cast George Washington)

REAL INTUITION

I suppose in honor of June 5th (the day Ferris Bueller cut class), or June 11th (the day 30 years ago this year Ferris Bueller's Day Off was released) --- but completely unaware of the significance (randomality, or kismet?) I'd changed into sweatpants and my trusty 'Save Ferris' t-shirt yesterday afternoon.   How's that for giving you the news ... or the chills?    story            

Principle in the type:  "To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents."        Winston S. Churchill

Love story to the umpth degree.  Storybook.      Nancy Reagan:  " 'I've had quite a life, when you stop and think about it," she once told a Vanity Fair reporter. "I'm very lucky. Especially with Ronnie -- I was the happiest girl in the world when I became we." '  link          Ronald Reagan to Nancy:  " 'I more than love you, I'm not whole without you. You are life itself to me. When you are gone, I'm waiting for you to return so I can start living again.' "   link

Principle in the type:  "There is a great power in a strong partnership.  True partners can achieve more than the sum of each acting alone."     Russell M. Nelson
