Thanks to SC for sharing this really nice photo of plawrence, possibly the best I've seen on the BB.



It is wonderful and touching to be able to see a healthier, far more robust plaw than the one I met in Sept. 2005.

Because of his thin, frail appearance I wondered silently that night if he was a healthy man, having no idea he'd already been diagnosed. Even so...throughout the entire evening his personality and wit shined through.

As most everyone knows we were soon back to arguing on the BB ... and I never told plawrence how warm and engaging I found him at the dinner.

So I'll tell it to the rest of you now.

I'm sure it is the way he'd like to be remembered.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
