2016 article of Secretary Kerry kitesurfing in Hawaii - imagine Pompeo even trying!

https://www.thekiteboarder.com/2016/05/kerry-likes-kite/

I missed this in 2016, when - as can be seen in The Final Year, Kerry was working incredibly long hours on various environmental and foreign policy issues. Nice that he could do this a year after his broken leg.

I figured this would be a good break in the time of the chaos that is the Trump administration and in the start of what is already a contentious primary. I guess with the latter, it is proof that even something innocuous (or potentially a strength - being very athletic) can in a Presidential race be seen as negative.

One sign that Democrats are learning is the reaction to AOC's wonderful infectious dance video.
