Ukraine could be any of us, as long as dangerous criminal dictator-wannabes like Putin and Trump get their way.  It’s not so remote anymore in this small world.  This time around, may saner minds of the world unite to crush this injustice before it turns into another world war.  I feel fortunate to still have my boring, mundane life to report on, not destruction and devastation.

On that note, here are: icing on the tree out front, and some lovely birthday flowers from my lovely brother.
