with his military toys. Unfortunately, the nukes are real and tweets can't replace diplomacy. The longer that people give in to his bullying, the bolder he will be in truing to bully putin, who is a master at this game.

And going into nasty tirades and name calling via his personal online site. His behavior is the height of irresponsibility and and no wonder he's become a pariah to the rest of the world - this is the behavior of a U.S. president??

Good to see you, my friend! Hope you're doing well!

I had surgery again on Friday to remove some cancer cells left behind during my first surgery, I am tender and feeling raw, but ice and Tylenol keep it tolerable, And thank goodness for silk shirts...I can cover up without adding any weight! Thanks, my friend!

Since I'm in New York, not a lot has changed here *knock on wood*, but I cringe to think of Texas or Florida - and my cousin is in Colorado and she's thinking of moving since her Rep. is now Lauren Boebert!

I think of you often, hoping you're doing well. Plus, you're always missed on MIRT. And I always think of you when I see a Georgia license plate. It's the height of tourist season here and I live just south of Lake George and we see tourists from all over. Though I have yet to see a car from Canada, usually Ontario or Quebec. Not that I blame them, but it makes me sad. Anyway, I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well!
