I'm in class with EJ Dionne. In discussing how we move forward as a country he quoted Charles DeGaulle: “Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.” Time to extend that love across our nation.

Have you read author Daniel James Brown's The Boys in the Boat? I interviewed him about his latest book, Facing the Mountain about Japanese internment camps on the West Coast. Super book that dives deep into one aspect of our shadowy history. lnkd.in/gR4Mejtc

"The pandemic of contempt in political matters makes it impossible for people of opposing views to work together." That's from Arthur C. Brooks, a professor and colleague. I agree. My goal this year is to move myself beyond contempt of any kind and bui…lnkd.in/g94dBZyf
