This whole getting old thing kind of sucks.

What is something that makes you feel hopeful right now?

My niece is walking the King Soopers picket line out here in Colorado.

Only small things for small gains right now. I won't venture to have too many things to look forward to as the current events are making it a waste of time to hope for much.

I am very thankful, though. I have a lot more than I did a few years ago. Painful gains but I can coast for a little while, even though there is a world of weary out there.
