Good morning. This is my world this Tuesday.

The Capitol flies two flags today — Union Jack beside the Stars and Stripes. King Charles III addresses Congress this afternoon, the first British monarch to do so since his mother stood there in 1991. On the steps, two coffee cups: my Tuesday morning coffee with a friend.

Different gambles. Same ocean.

Luna is sitting on the bottom step, looking up at the flags.
