Time flies, eh? Especially when you are old and have trouble remembering things. I believe it has been well over a year since I last took up the pen to scribble my thoughts for this blog. It’s been too long – a task abandoned out of dismay and disgust – but I still have thoughts that need to get out.
Our world seems to be entering a new Middle Ages where lawlessness, ignorance and violence threaten civility, decency and political order. The tragedies since 2016 continue unabated so that they challenge our credulity about who we are as a people.
Most puzzling, perhaps, is that many of us continue to live well, unaffected by the tribulations of our time though we are bombarded daily with the facts by TV “talking Heads,” newsprint and the ever expanding social media, twenty-four hours of incessant pronouncements and bickering.
I don’t know if I can rise to the challenge again, but I’ll try.
We’ll see.
So glad to see you return to your blog. I always appreciate your opinions. We miss you and Betty. Please call us if you get to Potlatch and we would love to get together. Hope you both are doing well.
Thanks Barbara. I just can’t keep my mouth shut. It’s no secret that our republic has been under assault since the 2016 election. We must speak out.
We will, of course, give you a heads up if we get up that way. My best to you and Harvey.
