"There was a man sitting next to me. He was WHITEWHITEWHITE: Fat, about fifty years old, balding sort of and his face was completely minus any human sensitivity.

Love Poem
"тАФIt's so nice
to wake up in the morning
all alone
and not have to tell somebody
you love them
when you don't love them
anymore."

Good question, TQO.
I'm old and have lived a full lifeтАФ78 years.
There are crazy people in the American government driving us toward a nuclear war.
I feel the need to resist these people by understanding and resisting their propaganda.
I'd like the next generation to enjoy a full, rich life like the one I've enjoyed.
Me too.
But I worked as a teacher for most of my life and I guess I can't renounce the profession.
Thank youтАФstay strong and take care of yourself and your family.
