It's been five long years of blogging the Trump years. We've laughed, we've cried, we've pulled some of our remaining hair out, but we've made it.

All of which will be addressed using good old-fashioned snarcky, sarcasticky, profaney fun and psychological insights.

It’s been a busy, but quite week at Ye Olde Blogge because we moved across the apartment complex. We did a little everyday and then BOOM did the rest. It left time for lots of reading, most of it in psychology, but some other interesting stuff, too. And, the Delta Variant sucks.
