I think about this often while driving. It's one of the reasons I'm looking at new places to move this year, to get closer to work. Less time in the death machine.

I'm thinking not all of us. Watching the SOTU this evening I thought Biden’s signature optimism is such a dramatic contrast to the gloom and doom of the Trump years.

Playful, relaxed, powerful, folksy, respectful of his opponents,

enjoying the banter with rejoiners that were the result of his

abilities to use wit to silence the inevitable and embarrassing

howler monkey outbursts of Marjorie Trailer Grease and her

sidekick Gaetz, Biden was commanding when needed and empathetic.*

Our President wanted to demonstrate he could serve another four years.

He succeeded. He knocked it out of the park, IMO.

*His story about the couple with a daughter with cancer is

heartbreaking. “If she goes, I can’t stay.” Biden quotes the father

of a young girl with cancer, who is, Biden said, beating the odds and

watching from the White House. This would strike a chord with anyone who had nursed a sick child.

Anyhow, no demons here. My spirits are raised as I look forward to a great day tmrw!
