Nancy I watch Nicolle and Ari every weekday. There is much hope now since the new administration has taken control and vaccine availability is increasing. Ive had my two vaccines and am finally feeling hope!

I would agree with you that 4 times a day for YOU is an improvement. But I must say, when we talk to each other I am always amazed at how you are up to the minute on USA news. For instance, you knew about the voter suppression laws that Georgia is trying to advance. And I believe you were aware of South Carolina's attempt to halt all abortions by legislating the "heartbeat" bill. As for the oppression of the USA news cycle, I am pleased to report that since Trump has left office and is Tweetless, it is much easier to draw breath and sleep soundly at night. When we are constantly living under stress, it is very difficult to deal with the day to day stresses that ordinary life affords. In the past I would have pulled my hair out if I spilled a box of cereal on the kitchen floor. Now I just pull out my Dust Buster and clean up.

I do continue to read my digital papers each day, plus the Axios newsletters. I delve more deeply in areas of concern ( voter suppression and reproductive rights too the list). I wish we had a dust buster here....they have a way of making you feel better very quickly.

Funny you should say that. Denise and I have a game we call "let's pretend" which we sometimes do while walking. She started today with "Let's pretend we stay in Portugal..." That is the first time she said that!
