My Dear Friend & POTUS, JRB,

            The only news of you in the WP today was about your bike spill. I saw the video & was relieved to see that you were only going 2 snails an hour, so the only harm done was to your ego. Since that seems to be big & strong, I think you’re AOK.

I hope I am as healthy as you are when I’m 79 & brave enough to go out for a bike ride. I thought I was doing pretty well until I experienced one of the worst cramps of my life in my thigh last night, 10 minutes of agony, worse than giving birth! I attribute it to a day full of activity out in the garden & around the house. My dad used to get cramps & would writhe on the floor screaming for a banana. Now I know what he felt like & regret joking with my husband about his theatrics.

I’m surprised you’re not doing something to mark Juneteenth today. Only 60% of Americans even know about it & only 18 states have declared it an official holiday. You need to get out there & attend some events. You could still make it to the observance at the Tabernacle Full Gospel Baptist in Wilmington today at 4:00. That wouldn’t be too disruptive to your anniversary celebration.

            By the way, congratulations on 45 years of marriage. I loved your FB post on the 17th telling the world about your love for Jill.

            Please continue to pray for Burma & make some noise to express your opposition to the pending execution of Kyaw Min Yu & Phyo Zeya Thaw.

            BYBS,
