Just tried to call Congressman John Lewis' office to express my sympathies.

The voice-mail box was full. I take it they've been flooded with calls from well-wishers.

Good.

Speedy recover, sir...

Friday Night Vodka-Buzz. Ask me anything.

I love you all...

Christmas Eve Gin-Buzz. (I'm out of vodka.)

Merry Christmas to all, and to all: I love you...

A startlingly different kind of Christmas song:

Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

I love you all...

Question from a friend across the Pond:

How likely is it that Scotland will withdraw from the UK if Johnson's Brexit goes through?

Personally, I'd like to see them do it, if only to point out to Downing Street that bad decisions have consequences.

Silent thread in thanks for re-taking the House last year.

...

Predictions on how soon Tulsi Gabbard will drop out of the race.

Or announce as a third-party candidate.

I say after the New Year. Within two or three weeks after...

"Sorrow endureth at night, but joy cometh in the morning."

Just got a notification from oncology that a patient I diagnosed with cervical cancer is in remission following chemo.

I'll take all the good news I can get...

Good turnout for the South Hill Pro-Impeachment Rally.

We covered three of the four corners of the traffic stop at the entrance to the Mall.

Lot of great signs. We got lots of friendly honks from rush-hour drivers, a lot of waves and thumbs-ups, and of course, a few "Trump 2020!" shouts, as well.

There were about fifty of us, including around ten or fifteen high school age kids. Good to see them out there. I'm pretty sure Puyallup supports impeaching the bastard.
