Too many late nights this week. I have to check out early tonight.
The next two weeks are going to be stressful, so take a breath while you can.
This, too, shall pass... and we'll get through it together.

I hope to meet you some day and ... bump elbows! Thank you in person for bearing witness to this incredible era.
That is just what my Stalwart Yankee Grandma Clara always said: This, too, shall pass!” I called it her Methodist
Mantra. After all, having been born in 1898, she had lived through World War I, the Stock Market Crash & Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, Bay of Pigs crisis, Assassination of JFK, Vietnam, Iran Contra scandal & countless boom & bust cycles. Very aware of the news; always humming a Wesleyan hymn quietly under her breath. Concerned, but serene.
The memory of that calm balance through turbulent & dangerous times sustains me, even as I joke that I’ll be bringing Bourbon, Xanax & Pepto Bismol to an election/night watch party. (We know it won’t be decided that night or for days & possibly weeks later; we just want to be together that night.)
Rest well tonight & thank you for your calm reporting & crisp analysis of facts & events as they unfold. 🌿
