I am convinced America crossed an event horizon thirteen years ago, when even the deaths of elementary school aged children at the hands of a monster weren't enough for their government to say "enough is enough". Hard not to think that Americans would rather have their guns over their children.

What is something that brought you Joy today?
I have been slowly building a Tea Garden. Today I put a few irises that had been living in pots in the ground to help decorate that area, raked it smooth and covered it with straw for the winter. It looks pretty and I can picture the new spring garden.

Geez. One year after seeing a 16 year old kid gunned down 5 feet away from me, the most traumatic thing I've ever witnessed, I see two mass shootings on the news, one here and one around the world from here. People are sick everywhere.

Rob Reiner, for a while there, was one of the most artistically and commercially successful directors in Hollywood. He had a run of films that knocked the roof off. With STAND BY ME, he gave voice to Stephen King’s work that we hadn’t seen since CARRIE and SALEM’S LOT and rarely since.

The weather is all back to normal temps now.
It was -20 below zero this morning when I woke up. By noon it was 10 above. So I went for a walk to the
Grocery store and just enjoyed the day.
Everyone was saying the same thing, “what's going on with the temps?” 🤷♀️
