Here's hoping that in 2021 things get better and keep getting better.

I'm posting this because ever since 2008, I have wished that the next year be better than the year before.

Oh, I know this is premature. It ain't New Year's yet. Sure.

But you know, we've been in the shit for SO LONG. Let's hope Trump drags what is left of the old Republican party into oblivion with him, and we see some sane people who are willing to debate, compromise and move us forward as the founders intended.

Biden has a really good platform. If he and Harris are able to accomplish half of it, we'll all be much better off, as will all other life on this planet.

Only possible problem is we have a lot of shitheads out there who are ignorant, stupid, mean and heavily armed.

So, when next you lift a glass of anything to your lips, do it in the hope that better times are coming, and with the intent to do all you can to help that happen.

Rosh Hashanah (The Beginning of the New Year) was last Friday, and concludes with Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) beginning this Sunday evening . So I hope your wish applies beginning now.

We Jews will pray extra hard for a better year to come (even as we think about the personal and communal failings of the past year), and we'll do it right away!
