A Parental Snippet

(TBG spoke.  I typed and lightly edited.)

Dear Cuters,

The conversation as we warmed up before spin class this morning came around to Mayor Pete.

Some of my fellow Medicare recipients, while admiring his intellect, were concerned about his age.  Could they trust someone that much younger?  Had he lived enough to be relied upon?

And I sat there, on my bike, feeling enabled, enabled to reach the right decision about an impressive guy.  He does have good experience; the only thing slowing me down would have been his age.

But that is so easily overcome-able when I have the example of my own children, who, in their mid-30's, consistently exercise great judgment, fine intellects, and unquestioned integrity. 

Thank you.
Dad
