May 27

I have always appreciated your commentary, especially as a fellow Minnesotan. Selfishly, I hope that your health does not bar you from continuing to contribute until long after the election and the inauguration of a new Congress. I am 77 and I am fond of saying that I just want to live long enough to know how this turns out! By that, I mean: do we or do we not successfully keep this Republic? Hang in there and focus most of all on your health. I don't know if you have family with/near you, but if you need anything (home-cooked food, a ride to somewhere, good conversation) let me know. I think we are both in the Metro.(not sure how personal info can be exchanged, though). You are much appreciated!
