And now, for a 4 year hiatus, we Democrats rest while the Republicans deal with the monstrosity they elected.

I’ll be smelling the roses, thank you very much!  Will I live to see a woman elected President of the U.S.  I still hope so.

A reminder that Florence is still vulnerable to devastation, 50 years after the big flood.

Feeling sentimental following Halloween

All those cute little ghosts and goblins out trick or treating last night made me feel like looking back at my own little gremlin.  Here are some random pix of some trips we took when he was around 10ish.  Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria Island and Washington D.C. Sigh.  Those were sweet days!
