My husband had a special report playing on TV last night, and what little I heard riled me up (a poll on how people are feeling, without mention of the details of the polled group, which always makes me suspect of results). I muted the TV and headed to the other end of the house!Chris Margocshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261261993571716230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260969528787608869.post-61285612636150487082020-11-06T05:38:55.443-06:002020-11-06T05:38:55.443-06:00I was so proud of my kids too, Stacey!

I’m reading today and raking leaves. Love the metaphor of a teenager peeking from under the covers during a horror movie. That’s what we’ve been doing the past four years. Today we decide our fate in this slasher reality movie. Like you, I’m afraid to have hope after 2016.
