Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

You're back in Arkansas?

Try to do something about Tom Cotton ok?

Good to "see" you Wesley! I know only about 20 people use this blog anymore but It's become a ritual for me.

Eugene- Thanks for the note.

Rob- Yes sir...was it the Malvern or “county line” reference that gave it away? I’m back in the Natural State to follow in your footsteps, as I’ll be teaching U.S. and Arkansas History in Little Rock this fall. Many years ago you ruined me with all those posts about your AP History classes and cross-country teams. Never stopped thinking about that.... As for Senator Cotton, are you suggesting something other than voting against him?:). Finally, with respect to FRB, I can date many of my lower moments to the time I stopped posting. Ritual and discipline are meaningful, Mr. Murphy. Plus, you’re talking to a guy who doesn’t understand Strava and runs in a Timex (the classic IronMan, of course).

Hope you and the family are staying safe and healthy during these unsettling times.

This made my day, Wesley. Nice to see your name pop up. I hope you and your family are well.

Wesley! Great to hear from you again! Good luck with the teaching job!
