It’s November 4, 2020. As you wake up, you see the winner of the presidential race has been called. You pull the story up on your phone. The winner again, is Trump. How do you feel? Glad Although you recognize he lies a lot, acts quite immature most of the time, is very vindictive, golfs… Continue reading November 4, 2020

This wasn’t my original topic for today, but it is what hit me this afternoon with the need to write it out. I’m sure we have all experienced a time when out-of-the-blue, we have a vivid memory of a loved one who has died. As time goes by, those moments become farther and fewer in-between,… Continue reading Memories of a Lost Loved One

It’s late. We had a long conversation with our youngest. It started with a conversation about future after high school, and ended discussing Black Lives Matter and racism. In between there was curiosity about the differences between the Democrats and Republicans, and the thinking that the current generation is going to change the world. To… Continue reading Long Conversation with Our Youngest

A little while ago I wrote about how Republicans break it, Democrats fix it. This is becoming ever more true as each day goes by. I’ve been thinking about the quagmire, chaos, and despair the trumpists have put us through and left us in. Biden/Harris, after hopefully being elected in November by a landslide, and… Continue reading Biden/Harris Will Have a Lot to Do

For the past few days I’ve been debating myself over the trumpism National Convention (TNC) (formerly known as the Republican National Convention). It has been a back and forth conversation over whether to watch it or not. Since we aren’t a Nielsen household, watching or not watching wouldn’t matter in terms of its ratings. I’ve… Continue reading I’ve Made My Decision

I’ve spoken about the MeetUp writing group to which I belong before. Just about every Saturday, a small group of us get together to just write. BC (Before Covid), we would meet at a Starbucks, taking over a table or two, to just sit and write for an hour. There would be, of course, some… Continue reading When 50-minutes Feels Like 5-Seconds

A political convention is supposed to pull your heart strings a bit, introduce the candidates, and talk about the party. However, rarely does a political convention bring one to tears. This past week’s Democratic National Convention was quite the tear jerker. It wasn’t just because of the young man who is working to cope with… Continue reading Many Tears Were Shed

Devoting my attention to the last night of the convention. Hope you are too. Go Biden/Harris!

What a moving Roll Call the Democrats did last night as they tallied the votes from each state! How often do we get to see the vastness, the diversity, the beauty of our Nation in such a short time? The use of backgrounds to show the nature of states. Seeing art as story. Remembering those… Continue reading What a Roll Call!

Wow, just wow, wow, wow! The first night of the Democratic National Convention was different, and heart-warming, and motivating. Michelle Obama brought it, and brought it well last night. She had the right amount of passion and compassion, anger and hope, and a gave us our marching order with a call to action none of… Continue reading Day 2: What’s in Store this Evening?
