Oops!

I fell backward and hit my head on October 2, 2022.  I had a concussion and brain bleed.  I stayed in the hospital for a couple days.  I had to cancel my 12-day Road Scholar trip to New England unfortunately. The hospital doctor said I could go but the neurosurgeon said that I couldn't go.  Later I signed up for a shorter trip to New England for fall 2023.

Lying for a liar

"When Watergate happened [in 1972], ultimately, it wasn't that former President Richard Nixon began a swift fall from  grace and power, It was when Republicans who had been defending Nixon realized he had made them lie for him.  They realized they had been lying for a liar."..Jeffrey Engel,  presidential historian at Southern Methodist University.  August 2022
