Hubbie flew the flag and I rocked this sign. We did our part in southern Indiana, even as a fire-and-brimstone preacher with a portable PA system counter-protested. #nokings

Attended the anti-Trump protest in Louisville. Good energy. A bit uplifting. We keep fighting.

#fridayreads The stories are melodramas, but well told and imaginative. Comfort food for these dark days.

So, is this about someone who’s *covertly (perhaps fetishistically) Amish* celebrating Christmas? (Jon on the streets, Jebediah in the sheets?) Or , is it about an Amish family that secretly celebrates a gaudy holiday, complete with consumer electronics underneath an artificially-lit tree?

Behold! Tonight I stand alone atop the peak of Mount Absurdity. Eat my dust, Kafka! How’s the weather down there, Cervantes? Here’s a hanky for your tears, Lewis Carroll! **dances “the griddy” in celebration** 😉
