…Thanks for taking the time to speak with Alexei Navalny’s wife, Yulia, & his daughter, Dasha at the Fairmount yesterday & letting them know that you share their grief & that you will hold VVP accountable….

…Did you enjoy your event with the Getty’s last night? I saw the protestors on the news. They want to make sure you are aware of their concerns. Please acknowledge them….

…Will Sir Mark Harris Getty be at the event tonight? I am intrigued that a guy who has made a fortune on owning images has so few of himself available on the internet…

… I suggest you keep repeating our mantra, WINTA, & pose the question, “what would happen if we started diverting funds from the military-industrial complex to other more peaceful pursuits.”…

…Did you see Yulia Navalnaya(YBN)’s video inviting her fellow Russians to join her in opposing VVP?…

…Did you know MSR wrote letters to OHB? I learned that by reading David Marchese interview with her in the NYT. By the way, she considers you a gift of God….

…How was your visit to the 1820 Candle Company in downtown East Palestine? According to USA today, you demonstrated your confidence in the cleanup efforts by drinking coffee that had been brewed with tap water….

…I hope your visit to East Palestine, OH, brings some comfort to the folks there who are still trying to recover from the Norfolk Southern fiasco last year…

Thank you for sharing your anguish over the shootings at the KC Chiefs Superbowl parade yesterday. I hope someone is shocked into action. ..

…How do you like the decorations on your lawn? I liked the giant hearts with “Joe + Jill,” & “Choose Love.”

            I find myself being a Valentine’s Day Scrooge.

How did things go with King Abdullah II yesterday? ABC News says you, two, are “not on the same page.”…

…I missed TS & TK’s kiss which according to the guy on CBS showed “true love.”…

…the Arab-Americans in Dearborn, MI who are resisting the negative news about their city. 31-year-old Palestinian American Lexis Zeidan caught my attention with her commitment to “reclaim that narrative in the face of a country that is trying to paint us in a false light.”..

       I feel you!

I forget dates & names all the time.

…I am reminded of Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker’s Creek where she talks about aging plants & animals in the wild “whose beauty beats & shines not in its imperfections but overwhelmingly in spite of them.”
