15. I am seventy.

Nov 2018

I still do everything I can. Today it is raining, so I am not going out to place signs.

I went to a visitation the other day, to pay my respects to the patriarch of a local family. FIVE people stopped me to talk about politics.

I am not complaining. I recruited a Democratic election judge and found out that a staunch repubbie is now voting a straight Democratic ticket. She says her granddaughters have turned her into a liberal.

I know this group is about books. But there certainly has been a spillover in my life lately.

BTW, I am enjoying the Laurie R. King books as well, the books that feature Mary, protege and partner to Sherlock Holmes.
