24. I can make the same sort of mistakes. No big deal.

I love Joe Hill (the song) BTW.

I got to hear Joan Baez sing it live as a kid in the late 60's at a "No War Toys" protest at the beach in Santa Monica.

Love that song. Always have. By happenstance I listened to her Woodstock recording of the song just this week.

I'm also an FDR Democrat--as were my parents. And grandparents.

FDR sent my dad off to war--which he was proud to do as a volunteer, a patriot, and an anti-fascist. That he survived took a miracle, I can tell you. It was a close call.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
