Blogging has been taking a back seat to other things going on around me the last few days, not the least of which has been the magnificent weather that's enabled me to spend some time in the garden playing with green growing things. Refreshment for the eyes, the heart and the soul.
But I didn't mean to let yesterday pass without at least making some reference to the passing of one of America's truly great public servants. Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a man of passionate principle, a genuine gentleman in the best sense of the word and an enthusiastic crusader for the spread of liberty, freedom and prosperity throughout this nation and the world. He was a rare and wonderful individual. His loss diminishes us a bit, but his life more than compensated by enriching us a lot.
May his memory be a blessing.
