  1. She is really something. She was in the middle of history. Over and over again. It’s time to retire.

  2. As a long time San Franciscan DF has been a presence in my life, beginning with the City Hall murders, then her time as mayor and her career in the senate. I’m glad she’s going to retire, but also saddened. It’s the end of an era.

  4. If so, I give you permission to be excused :slightly_smiling_face:
