My hero.
Bill Huber, once a proud member of the Usual Gang of Suspects who used to frequent these parts before I cleaned up things up, has apparently been on the lam for months now but checks in this morning with this bit of inspiration for us older folks. We know who we are…
As we get older we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to make a difference in the world.
