Good Morning.

A year ago, we were watching my mother in her final decline, which culminated in her passing on December 4 last year.

Not very long after that, I gave up on a 30-year career in the healthcare industry.

Over the summer, my father also got the dreaded "Big C" diagnosis, and we faced the small, but real, possibility of losing both parents within the same calendar year.

Being Thankful in the Age of tRump
Author: BobR    Date: 11/23/2017 14:00:32

It's been a rough year for those of us with intelligence and compassion. When tRumpleThinSkin took office in January, we all braced ourselves for a giant leap backwards. We envisioned ugliness all around. To some extent, our fears were not misplaced. However, looking back over the past 10 months (only ten??), we have plenty to be thankful for.

The military is not immune, but it seems that reporting these crimes is apparently not on anyone's radar. No doubt covered up by the recent revelations around well-known politicians is this little tidbit from Fort Bragg.

Trickle Down Wins Again!
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 11/19/2017 18:20:19

Thank God for republicans! Otherwise, we'd be stuck with this current tax nightmare which often takes 3-5 pages of papers to fill out. With our new simplified plan put out by President Trump, it'll all fit on a small post-card. That's progress!

Blah.

Apparently, I spent a half hour writing a blog, then neglected to actually post it before heading out this morning.

I suck.
