My excuses:

Although I don’t get paid, I really want to accept Cuba back into a position of dialogue and trade. Celebrate with a Kool and the Gang song, or:

#Freedom to be as model a citizen as one can

Caveat: My wife Lucia penciled a sketch of my portrait last night. I looked like a cross between a leprechaun [my view] and a little devil [hers].

johnrubens's avatarJOHN RUBENS is no Mother Teresa.

Nixon and Obama are the closest things to benevolent dictators you’re ever gonna get [see, Public Trust doctrines].

Men that build to the sky and tear up the ground [See Bad Company’s “Rock and Roll Fantasy”].

If you don’t have individual rights, you’ll still retain your inclusion as a citizen of the state to the state’s rights under the U.S. Constitution.

If I have to choose…

I think it was 2016 politics. My uncle Ron would have said, “You made the right choice John.”

between this and that, I choose you.

I was thinking of something specific, but Lucia made me choose her “livestream.”

“The waiting is the hardest part” #TomPetty and the All Americans; Tom Petty and the All-Stars

See also, “You might not like what you find there Taylor.” Dr. Zaius to Taylor regarding remnants in the “forbidden zone”, “Planet of the Apes”(1968).

There’s a correlation here: Gerald Ford, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice, the hippocratic oath: “DO NO HARM”.

The conservative priest told me in confession making out with women was wrong and to stop doing it. How was I to know where the line was between mutual pleasure and abuse [using women to satisfy my lust]? Weren’t we all searching for “love” back then. It was in many a song. A lover once told me, “You always want what you can’t have.” Stanford.

Legend:
Donald Rumsfeld: Solitaire
Ford: Keeping it cool and out of the spotlight
Rice: Piano
W: Painting, stingray motocross

For instance, as opposed to Trump [Make America Great Again; “Until we find out what in the hell is going on?”]

ancillary: Did Nixon query so?
