Pearls: Where does the time go?

More time has passed than you thought. I have learned this to be true for so many things. Your five-year-old refrigerator actually just eclipsed the decade mark.

I lean conservatively, but I’ve never seen a president who deserves my unwavering support 100 percent of the time.
