Don't know what I'd do without you.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, live long and prosper.

For Equilibrium, a Blessing:
Like the joy of the sea coming home to shore,
May the relief of laughter rinse through your soul.
As the wind loves to call things to dance,
May your gravity by lightened by grace.
Like the dignity of moonlight restoring the earth,
May your thoughts incline with reverence and respect.
As water takes whatever shape it is in,
So free may you be about who you become.
As silence smiles on the other side of what's said,
May your sense of irony bring perspective.
As time remains free of all that it frames,
May your mind stay clear of all it names.
May your prayer of listening deepen enough
to hear in the depths the laughter of god.
― John O'Donohue

Doesn't your mom say
"Insanity is hereditary,
you get it from your kids."
I know my mom did.
At Christmas, I would once again remember this Longfellow serenade
"and in despair, I bowed my head
'there is no peace on earth,' I said.
'For HATE is strong and mocks the song
of peace on earth, good will to men.
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep
the wrong shall fail, the right prevail
for peace on earth, good will to men."
But, nota bene, it is HATE that is the enemy.
Not the gun nuts. Not the repukes. Not the teahadists, or racists, or talibornigains.
Not even the trolls.
It is hate.
"The nonviolent resister not only refuses to shoot his opponent. He refuses to hate him." Martin Luther King
Here's to the failure of the wrong.

Over the next few years with a sound administration not spending trillions overseas and regulating the banking industry to ensure that we don't have another crash employment will steadily build social costs will decline and the middle class will begin rebuilding.
Among all of these signs of improvement will be the Republicans on the sidelines gnashing their teeth and wrenching their garments cursing every sign of good news.
