Farewell and bless every one of you!
Bye.
It is 10:50 p.m. Aug. 22, 2025
In one hour and 10 minutes and 1 second, I will be 76 years old. I have decided I no longer want to write commentary about anything. I am returning to my first loves, music and fiction. I have been writing news and opinion since I was 20 years old. I am sorry we elected Donald J. Trump as president, but I don’t care to reflect
anymore on his behavior. You don’t need me to tell you who he is. If you don’t know by now, you never will! I want to thank all of you who have read my work for so many years. I’ve never done a head count because I don’t care about numbers. I care about people, with my family first and everybody else second, some in distant second. For those of you who want to know in the future, find me at Charlesmadigan.com.
Happy birthday. Bless you too! Do what you love. Always enjoyed your writing, wisdom and even your editing!! Who knew?
Good luck in the next chapter. Take care and see you again here in new ways I hope.
Hey Charlie! At our age,
It’s time to do “whatever the fxxx you want!” as my son exhorted me recently!
I hope you have lots of years to enjoy your music and writing!
I’ll miss your clever and insightful commentary.
Linda
