Fortune smiles upon us, though Fate lays a challenging path.
Last night all seven us of, David, Charles, Jeremiah, Johnny, Jesus, Marly, and myself sat down all together for the first time and talked. We needed that talk as a group of strangers meeting for the first time to engage in politically and socially [...]
