22. I have the good fortune to be in Greenwich, London for a couple of weeks.

Sat Jun 4, 2022, 05:13 AM

Jun 2022

I walked past the historic Queen’s House, the Royal Naval Observatory (home of the Greenwich Meridian) and the classically-designed Greenwich University on the way to breakfast this morning.

Of course, London is all filled with Jubilee events. We watched the pageantry on TV, and then took the train out to Henry VIII’s Hampton Court castle for an afternoon of jousting and wandering the grounds.

I feel fortunate to be here at this auspicious moment in history.

For just an instant I thought Charles was Prince Philip. Then I remembered that Prince Philip Raine Jun 2022 #13

Yes. If he does assume the crown, i doubt it will be for long--whether health issues arise, hlthe2b Jun 2022 #29
