What a week!
So Bernie Sanders is the front-runner. Personally I don’t like him much. Despite his admirable ideas, I find him too loud, too cranky, and too old (inexplicably older than my first choice, Warren). By March 17th and the Democratic primary, my vote probably won’t mean much, but it will go to Elizabeth Warren. In November, I’ll be voting for whoever is the Democratic nominee. Because this is existential. (Thanks to Bernie for pointing that out.)

Here’s to more good time this week…
