and of course I had no idea that Pentagon budget includes $437 million for 130 marching bands! what?! Then again, I’m much happier prioritizing marching bands than weapons of mass destruction. Let’s bring on the bands and delete the bombs.

But as Wally Nelson liked to say, “You don’t gotta!” So yes… let’s hope for changes of hearts and minds… and thanks for the reminder to DREAM BIG!

This essay takes a slightly different approach to the one that we typically use. It is always good to shine the light from a little different aspect. I think this approach gets a lot of attention that we might not always receive otherwise.
