Easy to lose sight of in Covid days and feeding tube nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George Will. An honest man. Writes superbly. His column today in the Washington Post, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/bidens-election-will-end-national-nightmare-20\/2020\/07\/28\/f9c01df0-d0f7-11ea-9038-af089b63ac21_story.html?hpid=hp_save-opinions-float-right-4-0_opinion-card-a-right%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans\">Biden\u2019s election will end national nightmare 2.0<\/a>, references Gerald Ford&#8217;s comment at his inauguration that &#8220;our long, national nightmare is at an end.&#8221; In conclusion Will writes: &#8220;Forty-six years later, an exhausted nation is again eager for manifestations of presidential normality.&#8221; I hadn&#8217;t considered this, but it would take one huge source of angst off the domestic table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m looking for brightness, for the upbeat, for the comforting. Will provided some. Grateful for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also looking for fairies, for Gods and Goddesses. Ready to get back to Jennie&#8217;s Dead. A place of refuge. A place where the world can become new with my fingers on the keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer and the Lughnasa Moon Wednesday gratefuls: Mountain Waste.
