safe there in the lea
the bearer of treasure and crowns

I was watching a program of “classic” Jewish comedians and I turned it on in the middle of an old Borscht Belt routine being performed by Myron Cohen. He was telling a joke about one of my favorite subjects, Senior Sex, and I was riveted.
First, this has taken too long to happen. Second, we can only hope that the committee will not be deterred from finding the TRUTH and holding those responsible accountable.
