Of Pomp, Of Circumstance and Of Dean


He … has all the nerve.

He … stands firm on the ground underneath him.

I … am reticent.

I … am scared, needy.

My boy and me on his 7th grade trip to D.C. last February. With Lincoln, with Washington & with the very residence where I’ll be visiting him about 40 years.

He’ll be the nicest one we’ve ever had.
