Peanut farmer James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr., our 39th commander in chief often mocked as president but revered as ex-president, entered hospice in February 2023 and I began writing this three months later, anticipating his imminent demise. But the man has laughed at fate, so today he celebrates his 100th birthday. i am here barely updating what I wrote a year ago. Still alive but already part of our nation’s history, he is also a small part of my history.
