I try to stay informed but you can’t know everything. The problem with this world we’ve got, however, is that folks who should know better, have stopped trying to know and just make things up. And the folks who trust their word? They probably already know that and just don’t care.

I could only catch snippets at work, but this was so fun to watch. Great to see a whole city turn out to make one little guy’s day.

This was a great story from yesterday and a bit of history I honestly wasn’t aware of. Seriously, give it a listen.
Apparently this story derives from this story from last year.
Also of note is this video, from an event in Houston.
Granted, I am named after JFK so I have some personal investment in the history of the man and his legacy. Probably some more links will follow as people note this day.
