My birthday is on January 20. Every four years it is either joyous, or devastating.

I don't need to tell you how I will feel about my birthday in 2025. (I will be 69)

I had this thought the other day - a sort of civil disobedience light type of thought - what if on that day, Democrats everywhere turn off TV all day. They assemble in their nearby downtown areas - a type of "A Convicted Felon is Not My President" gathering - silently getting together. No shopping. Just getting together in group to mourn, be together, share resistance tactics for the coming years.

Just to send a message that this is simply unacceptable.

I can dream, can't I?

1. You absolutely can dream, my dear NewHendoLib, and you should!

That's an excellent dream, and I am right there with you.

This kind of demonstration takes the sting out of our relative powerlessness. Being powerless is so damn debilitating!



Premature birthday greetings! Here's to more and happier trips around the sun, for you, and for all of us.

2. I feel your pain. Mine is 9/11.

3. My preference for that day would be to get rip-roaring drunk.

But I need to keep my wits about me. I never watch puke inaugurations, and certainly won't watch this one. Sorry that it'll spoil your birthday next year.

4. Do your best

to make it joyous every year, regardless.
