Life of Wry

Today was really about the president and vice president of the United States bullying an ally (Volodymyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine) in the Oval office on live TV. Today also marks a radical departure from a foundational, 80-year commitment to our European allies in favor of a cozier alliance with Russia.

So.. putting a pin in that. Will likely be talking about this again and again. It’s huge news and very disturbing, on top of all the other very unsettling developments in the past 5 weeks.

For a photo, and in lighter news, we drove up to Dutch Flat this evening to hear our friend Bill play with two other guys at the Monte Vista Inn. Now, that was fun. We met Sarah and Gabe, Susan and Jim, met some friends of theirs, and even saw Jimmy Johnson in the bar. Felt warm, comfortable, joyful.. all an exceptional antidote to the dread that’s slamming us daily.

A couple pics…
