I started a post earlier, on this birthday-free day, but was unable to finish it. Perhaps I should post single sentences or brief paragraphs as I think of them, like the observation that Obama selected LBJ as his running mate in an election where it was not necessary or beneficial to do so. Or to note that the mission to keep the lights on for at least another month was successful, without elaborating as my post in progress does.

Anyway, thought I’d post a quickie before I go back to making supper. Perhaps later tonight I can do better.
