Such a relief to listen to @nicollewallace.bsky.social and not hear her annoyingly repetitive " we'll sneak in a break" phrase....aargh it was soooo irritating to hear over and over and over like an insecure junior high student. Now maybe I can watch again.

Amid all the stress, almost inconceivable horrors going on, I am reminded of Ma Joad's observation in The Grapes of Wrath: "We are the people. We go on". And we do, and I hold to the hope we will.

As the daughter of a decorated veteran who took shrapnel at the battle of Okinawa, I was prohibited today from visiting his grave in Arlington Cemetery. Instead a draft dodger w/ bonespurs who called my father/ his comrades "losers and suckers" was there faking inaugural respect.

Just started reading Perceval Everett's book, James. On only a few chapters I'm very taken with both his elegant writing and perspective presented in the voice of "Jim" from the Twain classic Huckleberry Finn. A good way to occupy my jumpy mind.

Given a "prescription" from my cardiologist to limit my consumption of news to one hour daily, and try to find more balanced reporting...he suggested radio and NPR. Any suggestions?
