All of my friends here at the Asylum remember our 200th birthday back in ’76. We recall feeling good. Going down to the Mall. Watching the fireworks.
Jerry Ford was President.
We survived Watergate.
The Vietnam War was barely over.
We believed we were heading out of a decade of discontent.
That was then.
This is now.

Wrapping up getting ready for my little escape to Canada.
Do I need to take a heavier sweater? NO
How much origami paper should I take? One small pack
Any reason to take a second pair of shoes? NO
Grateful to have a friend who calls on a rainy Sunday morning, offering fantastic cheese enchiladas ready just in time for lunch.
