He was a friend of mine.
We met at 明德 & got to know each other at GW. When he took the foreign service exam -- in '78? we had a cup of coffee and I asked what he wanted to do at State.
He said -- maybe charge' in Hong Kong at the takeover in 1997?
He did it. RIP.

I lost friends early in the Iraq War, cuz I said 2 things:
1) W said Saddam had to go — so he had to go. I want the world to believe our Presidents.
2) Wars are easier to start than to finish.
Now, we have a President literally no world leader believes about anything.
And he just started a war.

Ds got 5 million fewer votes than 4 years ago; Trump, 2 million more. LOTS of voters will have specific reasons to regret starting in January:
A debt default.
Abandoning "advice & consent".
Executive orders that can't be executed.
Chaos is costly. How will we welcome Trump regretters?

What is the WORST joke you know?
To set the bar: why is 6 afraid of 7?
(Best spontaneous response: you know why 10 is in therapy?
Cuz it's in the middle of 9 11, you insensitive...)
