How to make it all go away..... [View all]

[NRaleighLiberal]

I've been immersed - filthy dirty, covered in sweat, tending a too-big garden. when showered and not dirty, immersed in writing my tomato book....or watching the Bruins. Or walking my dogs with my wife.....or...or....

Sure, I know who Snowden is....vaguely, it is somewhere in the haze that's been the past few months. Obama - oh yes, our president. The broken congress? yes indeedy...still broken, I suspect.

I am checking in here briefly....very very briefly....5 min or so per day, sometimes not at all. No TV in months (aside from sports and some netflix movies).

Sure, go ahead - chastise me! I am letting my guard down...by immersing myself in life. It feels good - it feels worthwhile, and very satisfying. I am sure that phone calls, emails, posts, you name it - pictures of my bumper sticker festooned (love that word...gramps McCain used it in a debate!) truck - are recorded for posterity somewhere "upstairs". Do I care?

Anyway, just a quick hello. I know heavy duty shit is going down....and it is serious and upsetting.

And at the moment, I can't say I care very much. I've made it go away - I am sure I will be back to reality (or is the garden/book/family stuff reality? to me, it is!).

So this is just a PSA - if it gets too much, too depressing, too...too.....just too. You too can make it all go away - and it will all be right back in place if/when we all choose to return to the mess that is around us!
