After you’ve done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully.  After five years, look at it with suspicion.  And after ten years, throw it away and start all over.  ~Alfred Edward Perlman, New York Times, 3 July 1958

It’s very hard for me to express in coherent words how excited I am to be alive right now. I feel filled with a sense of purpose I haven’t had in a very long time. When I return home in the next six weeks, I will hit the ground running in a way I’ve never done before. And I will carry in my heart that idea that, no matter what challenges come my way, I can do any and everything.

Mr. President, thank you. I look forward to doing my part as a citizen to help bring change to our country.
