And good morning. I remember when I heard those words coming from the mouth of President Bill Clinton. I remember I was stunned. I was sitting right where I’m sitting right now, but probably drinking a cup of tea and eating chocolate. Excuse me while I put the tea kettle on. And get an Oreo.Continue reading “It Depends What the Definition of “Is” Is”
