I'm taking a class on the U.S. Constitution; the teacher says that we have (our country/our government/our people) have drifted far from what the framers of the historic document intended.  He says he doesn't believe we can turn back the flood, the movement away from those signers' ideals.  Maybe not.  Probably not?  But does that mean we shouldn't try?!! 

Thoughts about the Constitution of the United States

Is our country being run (managed) by "the administrative state"?  Will have to read Waldo's book, maybe.  Check it out:

Sunday March 1st Thoughts

A quiet Sunday "all by myself". I am never really alone, though there are times when I might feel a little low or lonesome. Last night I spoke on the phone to my grandson, Caden and to my son (his dad), Benji Dalton. As usual I talked too much!

Sundays (a lot of the times), are pretty quiet. I play sudoku online and watch BYU television. This is after going to church for a couple of hours. And I think, I should make some phone calls to members of the church I go to, and see how folks are doing that weren't at church today. I was absent for a couple of weeks and really missed not seeing the "over-the-hill" and then some "girls"! I actually belong to that "club"!

Something new with BYU-TV; at some point in the day, they switch to broadcasting their programming in Spanish!?! Which is really good for the Spanish speaking "Branch". Still the Tabernacle Choir sound good in any language. My goal for today is to not binge on "MI-5" via Britbox! And to fix myself a nutritious meal. (The temptation is to just "snack")!

There are a lot of things I can do on Sundays: Get more sleep (napping), take a leisurely stroll down the walkway, read the scriptures, family history stuff, etc. And yes, I can call one of my six children and check in on their lives!
