I’m not sleeping

It’s too bad you’re in China for all this political stuff. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch an administration self destruct; and we are in the front row. AR

Believe me, I am watching it all quite intently from here. On one level I am enjoying it and wishing it was easier to see the Daily Show. On another, I am so saddened by so much of what I see, concerned ove the long-term implications of a lot of what is happening and frightened by some elements trying to seize power.

And living here I am feeling acutely aware of how precious and fragile our way of life is over there. That reminds me… I need to get our absentee ballot stuff going so we can vote in November.
