Funds raised for Children’s National and #Georgetown #Lombardi. #ThankYou #Hoyas. #GoodTimes and #DoingGood. I’d love to see a 24 hour #danceathon. I’d be there but have a #PhysicalTherapist there to get me in the car home! 💃🏽🕺

From a car #window ~ “I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes; I saw the sign…Life is demanding without understanding,

I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes; I saw the #sign;
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong ~ But where do you belong?”

Gotta open it up, Folks!

Surely, not me #googling, “How much rum does Tiramisu have?” — so I can know how much I can eat in the morning without becoming an alcoholic!

Grieving never ends. A special kind of agony. people left. unwell. You can see from afar, as you ride the bus around--slowly go down-- & people in charge forget in unwellness ~ the keys to the Kingdom given w hope ~ madness & sadness as deterioration of the King continues~waxing Lear. Read & forget.

Red elephants rule a land of corn fields, drug running, homelessness, and disease with little medical care available…
