☀️ While navigating the kindergarten playground blacktop on a school tricycle, I kept my head down, troubled by the sun.
1/
Recently, my father, a family doctor interested in science, had the black-and-white-with-rabbit-ears television tuned to a PBS program. I did not pay much attention until the narrator said one day the sun would blow up. What?! I shrieked.
2/
In an attempt to assure me, my father explained that the sun would not blow up for another many billions of years in the future. I started to cry. Don’t worry, he said, you will be dead by then. Dead? That’s how I learned about mortality.

Behold the first hearing of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m.

"You held the line that day" says Chairman Thompson, addressing the witnesses. "History will remember your names and your actions."
2/
Chair Thompson Harkens back to 1801 when we had the first peaceful transfer of power in our nation's history. The peaceful transfer of power has stood as one of the pillars of our Democracy, despite our struggles over the years.
