Right before I left for vacation, I dealt with a bout of vertigo. I’ve never had vertigo before and I have to say, it was not a pleasant experience.

I hate it when I don’t have time to pay attention to the news. This explains, of course, the state of many Americans. Someone from my regular reads pointed me to Bill Moyers show of two weeks ago on impeachment. We usually record the show, but had somehow missed this episode. You can watch it…
