In spite of it all, I turn 80 today.
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.
