. . .
K “Plant a garden.”
. . .
K “Ladies and gentlemen of the class of ’24 . . . plant a garden. . . . If I could offer you only one tip for the future . . . plant a garden. You have been studying and partying and extracurricularing at a frantic and frenetic pace. Now is the time to . . . plant a garden.”

K “Wear sunscreen. Wear hearing protection; listen attentively. Wear chainsaw safety chaps; cut with care. Eat dessert: First. Learn to tie a bowline (and a bow tie). Stop, pause, think. Eschew fear. Transcend: Maintain FL 44; Make A Few Discrete Dives And Diversions To TPA (Traffic Pattern Altitude). Find the First Amendment. And plant a garden.”

J “Go East, young person. Go to Rome, D.C. and get in on the looting before it is too late.”
