Another fabulous column, Will! I grew a moustache once I graduated from Illinois. Why? Because my first job was selling packaging supplies, and I needed to look older. I kept it for almost 7 years and really disliked it...

I hope that when the Illini make the B1G Championship game you'll make the trek to Indy for the game. We'll be there for sure!!

That's another great looking cover. I'm looking forward to reading the book after fully enjoying the last one. I don't even hold the Cardinal and Ilini fandom against you since I'm a Royals and Huskers fan. After all, its only sports, ha.

Aside from replaying my own mustache, yes/mustache,no over the years, the announcement of a new book made my day. How Lucky was a terrific novel that I enjoyed immensely. I will definitely pre-order The Time Has Come, if only for the excellent cover art!

Will, I have not even read the article yet, but “Trump wins by wearing you down” is absolutely, unequivocally true. It is one of the many, many things about him that continue to drive me insane. My prayer is that when he is gone, his unique “skill set” for that will cause the fever to break in all of us. This includes those of us who are revolted by everything about him, and those people, many of whom otherwise appear to be normal in everyday life, who worship him.

I doubt it, but we all can hope and pray………
