Army guy. Born on a USAAF base. Son of a weapons chemist.The attending doc for my eldest daughter's birth was the ship's doctor of the Enterprise when it was home-based to Yokosuka. Who knew aircraft carriers had gynaecologists?
Selective in my militarism.
I have nothing helpful to say -- except that you're awfully damn good, so I think you'll come out OK.

The New Jersey Turnpike is wired, both for in-car phone and for electronic detection of accidents and people pulling off the highway.
To my surprise, it has been like that since it was built, in the 1930's when it seemed futuristic.
I can't see why Canada can't match this, everywhere and today.

Hell is a place name and a proper noun. It takes a capital H, Avi.

This is false, as I have pointed out to you in detail.
If you are not drunk or confused, you must have one of the many other "Kings" in the United States.

Rev. King was assassinated in 1968 in the prime of late middle age. Your 18 is just a mistake on your part. I'm being charitable.

Nani, Marcus,
That's the Orthodox and Islamic standard -- although North American Modern Orthodoxy, to which I, and, ahem, Jared Kushner, subscribe -- has gone hoity-toity. We allow plain but pricey wooden coffins.
Th claim is, they will decay naturally. Shure. Neck and neck with the last trumpet.

I used to joke at the time that the strike in their third year was arranged to give them breathing space, after winning _both_ the first two Series they earned their way into.

Robert,
Grace before dinner at Upper Canada College, Avi's alma mater, was sometimes "Benedictus, God bless the Dodgers, benedicat." 👍

Thank you. I agree.
If you look to the roots of Mussolini's philosophy, and the Fascist fathead was a fairly bright man, back to the 10th/12th Century corporate-state theory on which the 20th's political movement is based, you see these half-wits aren't within a country mile.
Just iggerunt dopes.

Oops, sorry, "McClain." My bad.
But the point remains: she does not live up to the values of the late and honorable moral leader of her party.

It's sad that a father serving long periods away from home, or worse, in the Hanoi Hilton, might not have had the opportunity to pass his values on to all his children.

The House Administration Committee, and its very skilled and well-informed subcommittees (on some of which I used to serve), has the power and responsibility of regulating the salary and perks of the Speaker.
The most junior Democratic staffer might look into this. 😂
Good serious training.

A bit before that, Dick Howard, my godfather, asked me what I thought about the notion of admitting David Lewis's kid to the Prep.
I said I didn't think it would be a problem: John Jolliffe's father was Ted Jolliffe, Ontario CCF leader 1942-53.
Mr. Howard hadn't known! 😅
In solidarity + good luck!

Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister, civil rights activist and political philosopher who was a leader of the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968.

King was over-age for military service.

I was on the House side -- but we, the Democratic majority, were working with the Nixon Administration on sound legislation.
Then Ayn Rand's _shade_ ate the Republican Party.
Or something.
