Life of Wry

Have I written about these guys before? They are Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, co-founders of Indivisible and hosts of a weekly zoom called, “What’s the Plan.” This is one hour of political inspiration I absolutely depend on and look forward to each week (Thursdays at noon, Pacific). I don’t think I’ve missed but 2 or 3 this entire year….they are that good. Smart, wonky, politically astute, strategic. They are a firehose of insight and information. I feel smarter listening to them.

Today, I’d just returned from coffee with Vicki. I’d walked to Cloud Forest (and back) in the misty, frigid fog that has become our daily reality for weeks now here in the central valley of California. Vicki and I typically sit on the patio and even today, weirdos that we are, we sat outside in the bone cold air (the owner just couldn’t believe it). By the time I got home, I was frozen to my core so decided to take a bath to thaw out and warm up. Submerged in very hot water, steam rising all around, I watched today’s “What’s the Plan.” Ezra and Leah were in fine form, 60 solid minutes of rapid fire brilliance. Always gives me such hope.

Foggy air, icy chill, political despair, political inspiration, hot water, steamy steam… there’s probably a good metaphor in there somewhere.
