Yeah, we know. The recognized holidays of recent weeks symbolize the changing of the season. They blend it into something else. April’s arrival combines green meteorologic verve with the raucous celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day. Today’s celebration of Fools adds some luster as a special one, since it appears to include all of us. There is sentiment for designating some point in the tumult- a specific day- to mark a remarkable time of transition from one age to another.

That prompted discussion about the dimension of The Change this week. Some declared last Tuesday would have been a candidate for the memorial designation. There is enough uncertainty about exactly what is actually happening that ‘today’ might combine multiple things nicely. As a plus, it would ensure recognition of the idiots in all our villages as a matter of equity.

A note from Legal with “reply all” was first up at the morning session, Chock Full O’ Nuts providing some added energy. It reminded us of our obligation to support the Constitution, and the actions of officials entrusted with the faithful obligation to support it. We agreed, responding en masse that we naturally accept Legal’s crucial role in ensuring corporate and individual compliance.

Which also meant we had to scrap the topic for the morning- “Lawfare.” It got everyone riled up with something, including our local joke about whether we had to lawyer up for what might be coming. It was a little caustic in tone about how our legal system now frames a basic part of our governance. An expensive part.

Instead, we decided to just remember this day in the ways some of us prefer. It is Saturday and Belmont Farms is open. Given sufficient cash reserves and designated transportation, we believe it is also a convenient reference to a time when we realized to our shock that things really are a little different, you know?

It’s a Day for…
