From "Catch-22" on Hulu, one of the best things I've heard in a long time.
“You know what's the difference between you and me? Me: happy happy happy. Dead. You: worry worry worry. Dead. Don’t drag me into your shit.”

A fall tradition with Mom. First game of the World Series, hot dogs, potato salad, and a soda. Cracker Jacks at the 7th Inning Stretch.
She loves her Dodgers.

Just a few of the pictures I took.
I did what I've always wanted to do, and participated in what I truly feel is important.
However, I have this feeling when dealing with someone who only cares about himself and not what others think and do, are we just pissing in the wind?

At No Kings, a young Latino father had his little girl. Asking why they & lots of other people were there, he explained doing a good job.
I had 2 pocket constitutions, gave her one, saying, "this will help you to be a good American. "Your daddy can help you".
Dad, smiling, said "Thank you ".

My sister and I are on the way to No Kings in Corona, California. My first political protest.
Be married to a Salvadorian who survived the civil war and knew people who disappeared after attending a protest, it took a lot for her to let me go.

I miss my neighbor Henry. Landed on D-Day as an 18-year-old private. Came home 5 years later as a First Lieutenant with Bronze and Silver Stars.
I don't know which morons need to hear this, but THESE GUYS WERE ANTIFA, every last one of them.
They fought fascists.

Forget Tourettes research.
This is a hard hitting, ground breaking, earth shattering discovery. I'm completely amazed the Nobel committee passed this one by.
The next grant goes to finding out if anyone actually hears a tree falling in the woods.

Yesterday I ran into someone I hadn't seen for a while.
"James! Where have you been?"
I explained my recent diagnoses of Tourette Syndrome and had been taking time for myself to adapt.
"Oh man, sorry to hear that. But you know, everyone swears these days."
A teachable moment ensued.

A few days ago I saw a video of people talking about what it's like having Tourettes. Things like "I get gut punched every day", etc.
I can't remember who posted and can't find it here.
Did you see it? Would you happen to know who posted it?
Thanks.
