In Praise of The Marshall and Great Big Woncerful

 February 26, 2021

   Had a fun time last night treating this guy to a belated birthday dinner at the Keg in Desert Ridge.

Great Big Wonderful with his birthday present: the original photo of him as Jack Williams, the one-eyed governor of Arizona, who Russ ran against in 1974. By the way, the server in the background was born in 1999.

   Had a nice streaky sunrise this morning.

   Got a sweet message this morning from this guy.

Our Marshall

 I was just thinking this morning, the past 20 years of writing for TW have been the most rewarding things in my life. Hardly a day passes without receiving at least one nice letter from a reader. I feel like I'm still a teacher. 
   All my life what I wanted to do the most is to make a difference.

   I've been blessed.

   And so have we, compadre.
