During the break I have been listening to some old time radio

holiday shows from 70 to 80 years ago - just looking for a break from reality.
Can't stand to hear a certain person's name especially hooked with the word presid...

So I will offer you a Fibber McGee and Molly from 1942

I use a podcast app on my phone, you can access all kinds of old shows. I've been playing video games to avoid watching what passes for news on corporate media. So glad DU is back!

Peace

I can't and I won't watch it

Or MSNBC-- I feel sorry for Rachel & Lawrence having to report the latest about drumpf-- at least I can ignore any stories.

It's actually been less than a week-- hard to believe. Still feels surreal-- still is a nightmare

I look for comfort where I can find it-- friends, reading, writing, gardening, etc. Simple can be incredibly powerful... and soothing.
