Walk & Talk - Chinese capitalism & Trump’s bromance with “that commie,” we get just two pandas to ignore Chinese military aid to Iran, dying to participate in China’s business success. Tech billionaires dine & fawn over each other. youtu.be/FAwhfo4uvW8?...

RIDING - It‘s been said there’s nothing so good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse. Holly & I haven’t been on a horse for years. Today, Holly & I rode by the waters of the Potomac on tree lined paths, an easy walk on a light rein.
