This week has been rough.

Give me something you're grateful for, something that gave you joy, or something that simply made life better.
The other day my 15-year old popped open his bedroom door and said, "Wanna go grab lunch?"

He gives me joy.
Officiating a beach wedding for a friend on my birthday (Tuesday) and since my son's birthday is Sunday, we're making a family trip of it. First family trip post quarantine.
Zoe (brown) has welcomed Charlie since the day he arrived on the eve of quarantine last year. They’re inseparable.
One more! ❤️

.@SenSchumer and @SpeakerPelosi the good people of this nation worked tirelessly for four years and showed up for you and gave you a mandate at the polls—and you are failing us.
Mitch McConnell is having his way right now.

If you're upset at this tweet, maybe you should be upset by that, instead.
No one has been more supportive of the Democrats than me since the previous guy ran in 2016. I'll be doing everything I can to make sure they keep control of Congress and the WH, but that doesn't make them exempt from criticism. These days are critical and we need fighters.

Stop asking for a bipartisan investigation of the January 6th terrorist attack on the Capitol. The attack was partisan. That was the whole point.
Start asking what non-Republican America is going to do about it.

8 years ago my mother was taken to the emergency room. She could barely breathe. Her lungs were failing. The next day my father called me and said through tears, that I should come up and be prepared to say goodbye to her. I got the next plane out.
When I walked in to her room, she saw me and said through heavy sedation "What are you doing here?" I couldn't tell if she was trying to be funny or if she realized me being there meant her condition was serious.
Over the next two days she made a startling recovery, quit smoking then and there for good, and began going to the gym. She'd suffered severe COPD for years but never told anyone about her pain until it was nearly too late.

I'll be fighting like hell to prevent it, but I'm beginning to believe the Dems will lose Congress in 2022 and the monster who failed to steal a second term in 2020, will do so in 2024—unless Dem politicians and the good people of this nation work with urgency and ferocity, now.
The incessant attacks on voting rights by Republicans, the general fatigue of millions of exhausted Americans, and Sinema and Manchin's reckless wasting of this season for the Dems are terribly concerning, as is the lack of fire from the DNC.
2022 and 2024 are all-or-nothing propositions for Democracy. If either of those good badly, all the work of so many for the past four years will have been wasted, and we will only have procrastinated away America's demise.

Today, a 30-year old woman I always considered quite reasonable, started talking about the "dangers of the vaccine re: fertility." She said, "The doctors I'm hearing from have said..." later saying that "the media is not reporting this."
Her sources were random YouTube videos.
She continued, saying, "If China DID do this on purpose, what's to stop them from doing it again, seeing how much it's hurt us?
(I reminded her that the entire planet (including China) has been decimated, but...)
She went on to say that she's "all for vaccines, just not THIS one."

The more she talked, the more disbelief came over me as I realized, "Wow, they got to her, too." This was not some unhinged stranger on Twitter. This was someone who I knew and who should know better.
