In spite of it all, I turn 80 today.

[Croney]

Six family members whisked me off this weekend to NYC where we saw Wicked, feasted at the Russian Tea Room, and walked around enjoying the sights.

I wasn't in the mood to go, but it had been planned months ago, when we couldn't imagine the horror that was coming.

It turned out to be a great distraction from sadness, and now my goal is just to look ahead to the midterms and try to outlive the bastard so I can breathe a sigh of relief for the world.

35. Wishing you many more fulfilling years

and yes, the midterms can't get here fast enough. There were serious reality checks in 2018 and 2020. Hopefully 2026 will rekindle short memories of precisely why Trumpism was rejected.

🙂

[calimary]

I like your attitude. Let’s use the midterms to fix a few things that trump and his thuggish knuckle-dragging goons broke.

[Croney]

My Birthday too----- I cannot believe it but I am 95. It sounds so ancient. I think this is my last election and I am so sad it turned out so badly for us (Democrats) Happy Birthday to all 11/11
people.

I left 50 years ago but have many relatives still there.

A possible first time Chicago visit is my probably my last first time city visit.

Would have been my (estranged )husband's 80th, but he didn't make it due to illness.

Glad you enjoyed NYC. Been a LONG time since I went to Russian Tea Room, with Dad, as I recall.
