Enough 2016! Go away! [View all]

Only in the past two days we lost "Watership Down" Adams, Carrie Fisher and now her mother Debbie Reynolds. If one wonders whether one can die from a broken heart, Debbie Reynold did.

Certainly since that faithful day last November, we seem to get bad news almost every day. The deaths and the disappointments and the sense of betrayal and the disillusionment.

I routinely turn the network news in the evening, and during the day would watch CNN or MSNBC, but as soon as Mr. T is there, I turn myself off. And, yes, will continue to do so for the next four years.

The only hope is to leave the "postmortem" behind and start looking for the future. The 2018 elections are less than two years away. And I hope that we can come with good candidates who are willing and ready for the uphill battle.
