Spent the day in Newlyn, England being White House pool for First Lady, Dr. Jill Bidens visit with Bude Surf Veterans, a Cornwall-based volunteer organization that provides social support and surfing excursions for veterans, first responders and their families.
I asked Dr. Biden what she saw as her role in President Bidens America is back efforts. She said, Our country has felt so fractured in so many ways. I'm a partner on this journey of healing, bringing together unity, and, for our country Its a global kind of thing.

Dr. Biden said her son Beau told her she should focus on mental health of veterans. Of the group, she said: They're all dealing w/ PTSD or anxiety, a lot of mental health issues. She said surfing helped them build confidence & deal w/ life & get on the right track again.

I have the unshakeable feeling that she is a "partner" in every sense of the word, in all things.

What an enormously likeable couple! The fact that they are the First Couple of the Western World doesn't hurt one single thing...except for the feelz of some, of course. To those, I extend an offer to join in a simple game.
My hand is behind my back and I'm holding up one finger. Guess which one.
