Comeuppance at the mid-terms! Nothing Pollyanna-ish about it, just determination! There are SO many weasels to flush out. Thanks for writing!

I know just what you mean, Nancy! RFK and MLK–and even Stalin!–must be turning in their graves. I have found a good outlet by canvassing with Swing Left once a month in our nearest Republican-represented House district (you have to travel a bit in these deep blue parts–I imagine upstate New York is a bit redder). It helps a lot to be engaged. I try to really limit the real estate DJT occupies in my mind. I’m actually more disgusted with and alarmed by his congressional enablers, and changing Congress is the most effective remedy.

Anyway, who would have thunk any of this when we were sweet little girls at Vinson-Owen Elementary School? How could we be fuming, let alone suffering from insomnia (which menopause brought to us long before DJT). Thanks for writing, great to hear from you.
