My mom and dad are in an assisted living facility. I can’t stand not visiting them on a regular basis. The phone is just not the same. I brought a little camping chair and I sat outside their balcony, they are on the second floor.
I texted to her, (Juliet, Juliet,!!!) She came to her porch and found me sitting there with gin and tonic in hand on a camping chair just outside her second story balcony. My dad put a rope on a bucket and they lowered it. It contained ‘happy hour’ snacks. We talked for an hour. I really felt like we had connected. My mom thanked me over and over and took pictures of me on ground-level in my little chair to send to her sister. We have to do what we have to do. Now, I send their prescriptions, an occasional loaf of bread, and even a takeout pizza (I had to bungee cord that one onto the bucket). It’s silly and fun and it’s a way to connect. Stay safe out there.

"It's very dramatic when two people come together to work something out. It's easy to take a gun and annihilate your opposition, but what is really exciting to me is to see people with differing views come together and finally respect each other." - Mr. Rogers (see his short song about peace)

The “Good War” in Afghanistan Was Never Good: As the war in Afghanistan slowly grinds to an end, many in the foreign policy establishment want to tell you it was a “good war gone bad.” That’s false. The war in Afghanistan never should have been waged in the first place.

Pope Francis: “Enough!” says Jesus (Lk 22:38), when his disciples produce two swords before the Passion. “Enough!” That single word of Jesus echoes through the centuries and reaches us forcefully in our own time: enough of swords, weapons, violence and war!
