I climb the many steps up to the temple-like Memorial. The large main hall at the top is visually dominated by the seated statue of the nation’s most revered former leader. Not Lincoln, Chiang Kai-shek. davidjkent-writer.com/2026/1…

I road trip to New England a lot. With scads of family, there is a lot to draw me back. But the past few years have developed into a pattern – I seem to find myself in New England in April. hotwhitesnow.wordpress.com/2…
