Escaping Trump, ... for a while

Today was a day off and I didn't want to waste it.

I'm fortunate to live not too far from the beach. So I went there, put in my earbuds, tuned into Pandora, and spent the afternoon listening to some wonderful old music. Willy Nelson, Elton John, and so many others. And I pulled up that incredible Academy Award performance by Bradley Cooper and Lady Ga Ga. I love that piece. They did it live. No retakes.

Give yourself a break. We are living in times in which evil seems to be sucking all the life out of our souls. In the long term, decency will triumph whether we're here to see it or not.

In the meantime, do what you most enjoy doing. Don't let the orange creature and his party of thugs steal your time on this earth. Tune them out for a while. The horror will still be here whenever you decide to come back. Take a break. Give yourself some enjoyment.
