I’m trying to stay hopeful and positive, while everything seems to be disintegrating around us, from the micro-minutiae to the macro-world.  We seem to be at a stand-still, yet racing toward a bleak future.  Stupidity and meanness seem to be the rule, not the exception.  All we can do is stare in disbelief at the breakdown of everything we depended on, on so many levels.

Still, we have to hope that some people are still sane and rational, and will do the right thing.  Meanwhile, we all have to survive and not give up.  The future seems to be a luxury of the privileged few, so make the most of the good moments we have left.  That’s all for now.
