Good to have you with us. This is just riveting, isn't it? Such a personal journey, and it's an honor to be invited to witness it. Another reason why I love DU. It offers so much more beyond just an opportunity to share and vent about politics. There's other stuff here, too, to round everything out. And feed the soul.
