What do we do??? Hopefully the North Country will rally around Paula Collins and get a democrat back in Washington to represent us. I've sent an email to the DNC URGING them to support her and send money and resources for a solid "fight" in the North Country. My research is showing that Nancy Pelosi is still" running the show"..sooo we need to barrage her with emails telling her to back off...we may be in the North Country of New YOrk, but we're not out of the "running"..

I am reminded of Michelle Wolf's comment on democrats (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/4/30/17301436/michelle-wolf-speech-transcript-white-house-correspondents-dinner-sarah-huckabee-sanders)

And I sense that is what is going to happen

Meanwhile pos_tfnKKK has not resigned yet, as the evil gQpeds.. sit in some dark back room planning to put in another ny21 dictator that doesn't care about the district...

I dont think I ever heard or read the entire speech! It was a doozy - she didnt miss ANYONE anywhere! And they all deserved it.

My only saving grace for the next four years is their level of egotism and overwhelming desire for greed has a very real possibility of rendering tRump and his ilk relatively ineffective. Oh there will be pain and suffering but I'm, maybe naively so, holding to the hope they will ultimately self destruct. This said, God protect us from these monsters.

Perhaps the excitement is because the little boy(s) is(are) still in there—the inner child. Years ago a friend said to me, “Shuler, you’re never gonna grow up.” I took it as a compliment.

Ken, never lose the excitement, and continue to share it with us!

Laughed out loud with the Regular bit! So funny. And the spiritual fitness behind the sea of red lights impressive. Your article made me long for that kind of intimacy with my own sibs. Stay excited!

{{lie of the year “him not hime”}}

wait, siri lied to you what an evil do-er

one of my volunteer gigs is to walk dogs at the shelter.. It is nice to talk to someone (a dog) who thinks I have all the wisdom of the world.. and better yet carries treats!

Which is to say I have seen the behavior of a lot of dogs and pretty much the main similarity is they have fur, can bark and are dogs.

"liar of the year"

so we have proof.. but will the media start calling hmpy trmPEDO a liar..

I mean, the judge in trmPedo's rape case called him a rapist, but ABC caved and paid $15 million to hmpy (plus a million for legal fees)

as they say democracy dies in darkness and ABC just dimmed the lights

Big shame the US doesn’t have a high speed train system as an alternative to driving. Using trains on a trip to Spain was delightful and fast.

Keep writing like this, I actually love these little, short snippets of a story. I love the great adventures with you and your brother and sometimes your son. Please continue and add Sophie as well since all of this is part of your processing your grief and coming out the other end. Then pick the best of the best and that is your third book. It will be very different then your first two..and it will not only help you but others. Have a blast and keep writing like this. I personally like this at this time and place than just another snippet of our political world. Thank you for sharing your adventures with all of us...
