I’m feeling, I think, only a small measure of the true loss to our country and the understandable sadness of a dear friend at the news of the death of Texan David Hall.

Editor’s Note: To Linda’s birthday note, I’ve added a picture taken recently at Pioneers Park (by the pond, under columns from the old D.C. Treasury building).

Listen TONIGHT – LIVE Friday, February 4, 2011 6:00pm – 8:00pm Shelli has been asked to sit in once again for Kaye Beach on the Axxiom for Liberty radio show. Perfect timing!
