I have achieved Worldly Wisdom...

...And was informed by my family that I should expect to be contacted by mail Monday regarding my participation in an important national lobbying group. I came to this site four years ago as a callow youth of just 51, barely older than our president when he ceased "youthful hijinks", full of juvenile misinformation, like "the Supreme Court" was a respected institution and Ohio was "the will of the people"...It All seems so long ago.

It took the work of hundreds of posters to knock away my rough edges and to hone and instill in me the highest ideals of a democratic party I was born to but little knew. Yes, I did the reading and thinking, but it was you and your fellow posters that provided the framework and synopsis of my political education.

So today on the verge of my matriculation and in recognition of my newly recognized status let me say my thanks to you and for the honor being extended by this august lobbying group. Thank you DU and Thank you AARP...

And Happy 55th birthday to me....
Cat

PS: I can't wait for Monday's mail!
