Now if I could just get my thoughts onto the screen as well as you! I rewrote the above paragraph several times. Still not right.

You are and have always been one of you favorite people on this planet. The thought that you might dislike me due to a difference in politics really bummed me out. I know I have to reconsider things I post when I am annoyed often. Like when I call someone morally superior. 😑

So good

First of all, you’re not a horrible person in private. Second of all, you do not act morally Superior. Third of all you are humble enough to self-correct! Love you

Thanks for voicing my sentiments. I privately mourn the outcome of this election. I also believe that unity is extremely important, and I believe that anyone who can take small steps to help heal, whether one voted for Trump or Hillary, I ask they please do so. It’s unreasonable to expect those who feel absolute horror over a Trump presidency to suck it up and move on in the days after the election. Rage, grieve, cry, do whatever it takes. We will have to get to work and quickly. There is apparently an amendment to the DEFENSE contract, HR 4909 put forth by Rep. Russell from Oklahoma, that will allow contractors to the government to discriminate against the LGBTQ community.

Not being a reader of legalese, I can’t immediately see how this will work, but anyone who wants to can read it here. Having a Republican majority in the house, senate, etc. will unfortunately mean we will have to fight tooth and nail to keep the advancements we have made in the past 8 years. I hope people who support love, equality, equity, harmony, peace, and education will be willing to work hard to keep our gains.

“Reasonably happy, most of the time” — I say that more often than not in meetings. It’s a good moon to shoot for.

crucifying the insincere was billy corgan’s idea, i assumed you know. i threw the gloaming on there in a fit of unreasonable happiness.

I am:
mostly better. most of the time.

Nice! 😊

Yep, Morgan has two boys and a girl. They’re great kids, bonded in a look out for each other kinda way. I wished I lived closer to them.

You said once something along the lines of… “you can never go wrong being a better person.” Being kind is regular goal of mine. Keeps me from doing more of the “shit i’d like to take back” kinda stuff.

But…some junior high kids just might have it coming.

t: have a look at my nephew Joe’s FB page. his little girl Lexie is something me and my brothers were not besides a girl: she’s kind. Lexie is my great niece. do you have any greats yet?

my brothers and i were evil little brats. we did shit i’d like to take back. we were little kids, i’m talking before puberty, but we were MEAN!!!

i only been in a couple real fights in my life and i beat ‘em both bloody. (translation: they were real pussy’s, but still) one of those boys is a great big man today and i swear he still gives me a wide berth.
i was kind of out control with one of them.
sam roger’s, the teacher at jr. high?
he picked me up by the scruff of the kneck off of this kid.

and:
prepared for twilight,
scanning departures, etc

in the gloaming:

we’ll crucify the insincere tonight.

They gave me a little love on Twitter when I posted the same thing… so maybe all is not lost.

it’s never gonna be what you expect or from where you expect it. it’s always gonna be under a bo tree or something equally as unlikely. i’ve said it before on these pages: Unreasonable happiness is your birthright. No need to claim it, like it’s behind some counter. It’s already here. Just put it on. Like your coolest socks. You’ll feel more confident and your smile will sparkle. Also, BIll Maher has some unlikely things to preach.

“All the things I’m missing. Good vittles, love and kissing are waiting at the end of my ride.” 😎

a birthday movie was a tradition for a couple of years. in retrospect, i suspect he wanted someone to go with. we went to the Godfather 2 two years later.

Thanks! It’s one of my favorites of cat.
