As we move into 2025, I was reminded of my beloved Homer, from the Iliad.

“Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”

He didn’t tell police or the FBI.

He didn’t tell family or friends.
