It's November first twenty twenty

Well we're finally here, almost upon the election. Am I nervous? Yep. By Tuesday I expect to be on high alert, feeling very engaged, on guard, attentive to news updates. Am I over-dramatizing it all? No doubt. 

Almost 4 years ago in the days before Trump was inaugurated I entitled a post The last of my political thoughts until 2020. "Since I seem to be blogging again... I wonder if I can restrain myself from posting about politics. I'm gonna give it a try."

Well, I did give it a try. The result was that I blogged very little in the 4 years of this horrible presidency. I never stopped blogging but too often I started to write and found myself talking about him. Such a waste of everyone's time. So I managed not to talk about him (much) but only by just not blogging at all. I'd like to blog daily. Why not? Or at least regularly. I certainly don't have much to do each day.

Here's my baby granddaughter, yesterday, all 15 pounds of her. She's a 4-month-old delight!

 
I thought she was a kitty or a mouse for Halloween but was told that she was a character from the Japanese animated movie My Neighbor Totoro. She attended an outdoor party in the courtyard of their apartment building in Brooklyn. Nice old building with a lot of nice old residents. She was cooed over, at a social distance of course. I'm jealous.

I hope you will blog more, Pam. I think it helps to share our fear and anger, plus writing is therapeutic. I don't blog much about politics, but I have been doing much more of it lately; how can we help it? I remember in 2016 I followed the election closely, and when I realized that even the solid block of the west coast blue states wouldn't change the outcome, I texted my then boyfriend Henry that I was absolutely heartsick. His response, "Why? It's going to be OK. It'll be fine." He was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. It's been an unmitigated disaster and I'm still sick at heart. Your granddaughter is a beauty! When do you get to see her again? I'm not allowed to post photos of grandson, but I will email you a few.
