Thursday

indeed!

Way long ago, I used to get nervous before boxing matches. Not all of them, of course, but lots of them. The legendary trainer Cus D'Amato used to say that everyone feels fear. It might be boxing, it might be public speaking or anything else. He said that fear is an internal fire, and just as controlled fire heats a home, and uncontrolled fire destroys a home, so it is with people. One can learn to harness fear.

I consider my investing time in elections to be more important than donating money. I can't afford to give much money these days.
