Thanks so much for the hearts!!!

I've been kinda busy not watching the super bowl. Instead, I've been watching kids standing on boards to jump off the side of a man-made mountain while their parents watch through their fingers. Watching the skating was quite thrilling but not nearly as scary. Again, thank you for the hearts, they mean a lot!

What is "Stance Goofy"?

Watching the snowboard big air, and see that phrase next to some of their names. ???

What. A. Moment.

Watching as Team USA stepped onto the podium. After each received their gold medal the camera moved back to capture the whole group. And what a magnificent celebration of the very diversity that trump and his magats keep trying to vilify. In spite of those determined to destroy it, there's still beauty in who we are.

Well, after the last few days

I can attest with absolute certainty that norovirus is a thoroughly accurate representation of how trump's constant fulminations make us feel.

So, here I am with a stack of cardboard that didn't get painted for this weekend's protest. Not to worry, more protests are coming, and my signage will be there. Notepad is full of ideas, brushes are patiently waiting. And tomorrow I get to have coffee again. Onward!

First the East Wing, now the Kennedy Center, then a giant arch

Somebody should sit Trump down and read Ozymandias to him and then explain it to him in simple one-syllable words.
