Greeting Our President ...

Thank you, President Trump, for that fabulous address, for finally focusing us on our nation's future, and for reminding us that sobriety is a necessary trait for a nation still at war. Success is no laughing matter.

Keep up the good work!
We stand behind you, ready to serve...

And now, 40 days of Lent.
#mementomori

Memento mori ("remember that you have to die") is a Latin expression, originating from a practice common in Ancient Rome; as a general came back victorious from a battle, and during his parade ("Triumph") received compliments and honors from the crowd of citizens, he ran the risk of falling victim to haughtiness and delusions of grandeur; to avoid it, a slave stationed behind him would say "Respice post te. Hominem te memento" ( "Look after you [to the time after your death] and remember you're [only] a man.").
