Thanks! It’s really good to know that. Recently, I have been thinking about dropping the narration. Some people prefer reading to listening because it’s faster. Your feedback tells me I should keep doing it. So I will. (PS: I’m also trying to get better at it!)
Your take on this is (as always) thoughtful, and looks at the big picture through an historical lens. I especially love the last sentence of the essay: It’s going to take a lot more than a few drunken racists on a pontoon boat to undo all of that good history from the last 60 years.
It’s very helpful to look at the moment through a historical lens. So glad you appreciate that. Thanks for reading and taking the time to share this thoughtful comment. Much appreciated!
Elsewhere in the news a Black man (whose name escapes me at the moment, but nicknamed "Michigan" for the T-shirt he wore) is getting tons of credit for intervening in the fight in a peaceful way. A teaspoon of hope in an ocean of troubles. It seems I'm always thanking you for your writing. It never gets old.
I thoroughly enjoyed this, Andrew!
So glad to hear it. Thank you for reading and letting me know.
I actually listened to it. I love to hear you talk. You bring your writing to life when you narrate!!

Andre, you are welcome! Whatever you decide is fine with me! I love your writing style but also love your soothing voice.

Lift Every Fist and Swing.
“The racially charged incident struck a chord that reaches deep into the reptilian brain, triggering visceral fight-or-flight reactions.”

Michigan! Right. Thanks for reminding me about him. And thanks also to you for reading and sharing your encouraging thoughts. Much appreciated!
Bravo, Andrew. Thanks for putting this revolting event in its proper context.
Glad you like it. Thanks for reading and commenting. It means a lot.
