These days I am retired, living in the Bay Area, happily married, fortunate to own a home and be able to live self reliantly, with some wonderful friends in my life. I swim for exercise and enjoy music, books, art and good food. My life is a great journey.

Photos from a recent visit to Japan. It exceeded very high expectations. Hard to take a bad picture there. A beautiful country with charming differences from our society.

Three photos from our trip to Japan. We lucked out in that the weather was mild with rain only at night leading to a dusting of Mt. Fuji. Japan is indeed a beautiful country. And the people couldn’t have been more cordial and welcoming.

Larry O’Donnell nailed it. This photo of Trump sums up his second term so far. Ignoring a man in need (who fainted in the Oval Office) and looking irritated that he was no longer the focal point. Staring straight ahead as if the person’s situation wasn’t happening. Trump’s utter lack of empathy!

Bansky has captured the current Supreme Court’s hostility toward dissent and protest, previously guaranteed as a constitutional right in our country. I say previously because the Robert’s court has effectively nullified the 1st Amendment. A shameful dereliction of duty.

Freedom, if we hold fast to it, will ultimately restore our losses, but submission will mean permanent loss of all that we value…. To you who call yourselves men of peace, I say: You are not safe unless you have men of action on your side. Thucydides. Time to be heard! Many No Kings protests Sat.
