I’m getting packed for the annual NCS meeting and awards dinner in Columbus. I’ll post when/if I can from there.
I have a gift for Colleen that I know she will appreciate. Joe Sinnott’s illustrated life of Pope John XXIII, a work that he was rightly very proud of.

Endless Flip-Flopping
Isn’t everybody tired of this back-and-forth on Iran?
- He meets with Bibi and says, “We’re locked and loaded.”
- MBS calls him and he says, “Based on this request, I have agreed … to cancel the attack.”
