Showing Original Post only (View all)In spite of it all, I turn 80 today. [View all]
Six family members whisked me off this weekend to NYC where we saw Wicked, feasted at the Russian Tea Room, and walked around enjoying the sights.
I wasn't in the mood to go, but it had been planned months ago, when we couldn't imagine the horror that was coming.
It turned out to be a great distraction from sadness, and now my goal is just to look ahead to the midterms and try to outlive the bastard so I can breathe a sigh of relief for the world.

Peace and good health to you. I'll be 80 around next election time. Here's to both of us living that long.

By all means, make it your goal to outlive him. That would be very satisfying.
