I dreamed last night that I read a breaking news story from the year 2023: "A federal grand jury has indicted dozens of members of Congress for using illegal performance-enhancing substances during what has been called the 'Season of Spectacular Success' – the ‘Miracle Years’ between 2013 and 2019, when Congress balanced the budget, eliminated the need for foreign oil, reduced carbon emissions, permanently solved the Mexican border issue, drastically reduced the national crime rate and even eliminated all murders from the Greater Washington, D.

Christmas was barely white this winter, but a few other more recent significant days have been decorated with white from above. Today -- the 281st birthday of President George Washington -- is also white, as six to seven inches of fresh snow covers the ground and delayed the start of school for two hours.

It’s ironic that as we celebrate the anniversary of George Washington’s birth 218 years ago today, that even before the ink was dry on his farewell message, two of his best friends and closest associates in the creation of his country were already at work ignoring his words.
