After reading Drew Magary's account of author Michael Wolff's revelations of Inside the White House  as an act of journalistic bravery, I shared a few comments about along with others in a FB post about why other people who work with or know Donald Trump were mute about his mental competency to be President of the United States.

Drew Magary included information about how much Donald Trump repeats himself in meetings as President and likely in personal interactions.

There are small windows of legislation that might allow for a mandated evaluation, but those are not used even in light of

Homelessness as a Sign of the Times to Help One Another Stay Put or Thrive. Good News too from Gregg Braden in his new 2018 book plus lots more..

The following is my response to a FB community page asking about a homeless man's well-being during a cold snap in early January 2018 in New England. Well, one idea led to the next and hopefully we will get an update that 'David M' is doing well enough. He's really proven to be an interesting catalyst for everyone to put a face on the homeless, elderly, mental illness challenge and what community responses are available and the least disruptive. 

Thanks for this meaningful discussion and basic human concern.

Having a FB Memory Page for a Loved One is a rather new way to mark the transition of  a person from this earthly realm while keeping a sense of the social ties that enriched their life.

He would have been 25 on January 6th, 2018 (having been born 1-6-93 shortly after midnight.)

I recount many events and ideas on his memorial facebook page with a few hundred people on it, hoping to keep the inspiration of his life and final acts of courage and trying to save

Who votes for a 'kid-proof' gate when reasonable? I guess I will put out the request.

Twas On A Night Like This a great way to reflect on the holiday season and new year... free to listen to on youtube (That's what I'm doing right now)

 Everybuddy would love to hear their family singing songs as they did in Christmases past..and I happen to be able to do that with the likes of Sandy and Caroline Paton's music being available on youtube. I feel lucky when I remember to slow down long enough to tune in. I was living at Folk-Legacy when the album (now CD and digital) Twas On A Night Like This was being recorded there. I will reflect on those times another time since it's getting late.
