I'm hoping tRump and all enabling GOP will be voted out and we can start rebuilding everything they have destroyed. I want to be able to turn on my phone, TV without a feeling of dread.

Personally, I hope we can get out from under the medical bills.

And for everyone, I wish them a healthy, peaceful New Year!

Here's to 2020 🥂

I will support my candidate of choice in the CA Primary. I will support the Dem nominee - whoever that is - in the General. I will work for us to win the White House, hold the House, and take the Senate in 2020.

On top of that I'm about to retire. My wife and I are exploring moving to Mexico in 2021, so we are doing exploratory trips and organization over the next year.

Happy New Year to all!

I will write more often. That’s a good start.

I'm hoping 2020 will bring the Trump, "campaign against reality", Administration to an end. This neverending cycle of lies and, truly absurd doings of the idiots running our country, is not just terrifying but exhausting. For myself, I'm hoping my health issues are resolved so i can be involved in a more active form for the upcoming election year. I'll be at the Women's March (again yay!), but this is it. 2020 is our country's best chance and I want to be a big part of our Blue tsunami.

The children in cages are in my thoughts a lot. I don’t know if I can do anything directly to help them, but I’m going to investigate. Going to continue w my Moms Demand Action group. Signed up to volunteer with my local Victims Center.

I have recommitted to listening to five hours of music daily, and returned to my exploration of Nature Photography. Both have reduced my stress and anxiety levels. Do something you forgot how much you enjoyed in years past, or try something new. Have a Wonderful, Safe and Adventurous New Year‼️

This is a must see. Be ready to cry and have your hearts break for the Children and Parents that have been separated because of Zero Tolerance. This is barbaric and we must Vote this Monster out along with his equally horrific Administration. America, we must not be part of this Ugly and Sinful act. Please watch share this link. Thank you.

I am hoping, Praying for a much better New Year for all the Children and Families that are currently caged. There is no reason why they should continue to be held in these horrible conditions. As the Wealthiest and a supposed Christian Nation, we need to zero in on the neglect and inhuman conditions that these people face on a daily basis. Ppl must not stop bringing this dark cloud over our Nation up on a continuous basis. We, the people of the United States of America are better than what this hateful administration is pushing out on a daily. I hope to continue to reach out to anyone who will listen and help the families caught in this vile and unjust position. Peace and a Blessed New Year to everyone💕

One goal is to get to DC and run around the Smithsonian like I did as a kid. Hang out at the beach when I can; try deep sea fishing again since there's good meds. for seasickness. Try to pick up painting again and piano. Write in the blog (which has been sitting empty for a year). And to get ready for 2020; the resistance. Vote Trump out of office. Oh, catch up on some movies. May your year be safe, prosperous, and a happy one.
