So I attended a dinner party Saturday night...

29. Many years ago when email was relatively new

I had an unlikely conversation with someone who soon became a good friend long before we met. He is still a good friend 25 years later. During that time we met about once a year -- my husband (who is also his good friend) and I visiting him in the South or he visiting us up North.

If Joe Biden had been that friend, I wouldn't have been burdened with fear, hate, lies, and petty criticism by others, because I would have known him personally. That is my point -- block out the noise and make decisions based on what is there, not gaffs, numbers, and appearances, which don't equal values, empathy, and experience as media would have us believe..
