Politics Today

 

We viewed Steven with his guest Kamala Harris recently.  The interview went well and the jokes were pointed and appropriate.  They drank a beer together.  But, to be honest, I wanted to be as inspired as I wast by Barak Obama or Cory Booker, but I wasn't.  There is a visceral feeling you get.  I can be happy for a woman president for sure.  She is quite competent with firm vision to go eyeball to eyeball with Putin, Xi and the crazy guy from North Korea. In fact, men have been making a mess of things with a few exceptions.  This is a good idea for our time.  The alternative is completely catastrophic.  It will take some time to learn about her personality and how she really sees the world.  Harris has miles of empathy with her opponent having none.  In a clip, she picked up a toddler that wanted to meet her and gave her a squeeze.  Never saw Trump even look at a child let alone pick them up. She will need some foreign policy tutoring as any new president would.  Unlike the other guy, she will accept the training.  

I cannot express in the strongest terms how happy and relieved I was when she stepped in when Joe left the race. I was given the gift of newfound hope for our country.  And I still feel that way.

My sister Joan and her husband brought over a bunch of perennials for the garden yesterday afternoon.  Harry loved John sitting with him for the entire visit.  Its been months since we have seen them an they both look well. They are moving to a smaller home in the same town but it is a long term process, kind of in the middle at this point.  

The constant political ads are exhausting to continue to watch. It is my hope that the Democratic candidates prevail, especially Slotkin.

Well, I am completing my oatmeal and by coffee.  Eating is quite cumbersome with so many missing teeth

All for now
