Began the hard-for-me process of phone-banking for Biden/Harris 2020. Yesterday. Starting in earnest on Labor Day. Today, errands. In the Covid Era, Sunday is errand day. The world upside down. Rest up, HCR. Take a break from the frontline. Itā€™s a perfect weather Labor Day weekend un ME. ā¤ļøšŸ¤šŸ’™

Good for you! Long weeks ahead. You may not watch "fluff stuff" but Sunday Morning on CBS today included a story from French Economist Rhomas Pikkety that echoes your thoughts about change. "What we see from history is that crises like pandemics are sometimes neessary--unfortunately, in a way, to deliver big political change or, ideological change. But we shiuld not just count on crises to get very bad so that after a crises, you kniw, things will get better. Because in practice, crises can also deliver political monsters as we gave seen after World War I in Europe." Well said.

This is just so unbearably embarrassing! I can't even count the number of times I've re-read something I've written and the words "so much" turn into "smooch". I promise to get better about proofing before I hit 'send', but I swear it changes after I check! Anyway...this is my favorite place to go...Following you Heather, and hanging around with all you other guys is something I really love...so much!

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your (almost) daily epistles. They help me make sense of this crazy world we find ourselves in right now.
