We’ll travel on the brightest day.

It’ll be sunny.

Today the view is as limited as that of an American poltician.

Perhaps any politician, but then who’s counting!?

We think writing a song could cure this ripple in the smooth surface of daily progress.

Or else we go back to vinyl.

Some headway has been made.

But we will need a few more croissants.

We anticipate nothing but brilliance and a set of actions which will have everyone saying once more, “what a wonderful world!”
