Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Oh my goodness, y’all!
You’d think what with the Dems winning the senate and Trump’s Capitol insurrectionist riot and Trump’s second impeachment that Ye Olde Blogge would be all over that! And, I guess we should’ve, but I found it all a bit overwhelming to be honest.
When I got up and saw the riots on the TV, like most people, I was just glued to the screen. I couldn’t quite quit for about 24 hours or so. My emotions have been everywhere ranging from anger to sadness and amusement to anguish since then.
And, then there was this verdammten series on the racism in our deep culture that I couldn’t quite finish writing and couldn’t quite postpone, too.
Anywho, the second installment is posted having withstood a test of technological fire and I should have the third done soon.
Then, it is on to the extended season of schadenfreude that will characterize the post-Trump glory days.
Huzzah!

Just read a fantastically funny article in London Review of Books. Its by Sidney Blumenthhal on his forthcoming book ” A short history of the Trump Family”
You and he should definitely talk!!
Enjoy. By the way I’ve cocked up on my password. Can you tell me how to change it please? I’m in treacherous waters when I get too close to technology!

This situation reminded of my father in law who loves to talk on is cellphone at a restaurant surrounded by friends. Trump did the same thing except such public talk compromised our national security.
