Unfortunately, Trump is not going to jail. The stars are not aligned for such a thing to happen. So we’re looking at the next best thing. And as much as I hate to wish for anyone’s death, in this case I’m making an exception. Trump has burdened this country and this world more than long enough.

It’s that time of night when my male cockatiel is going to start screaming at me to turn off the lights so he can go to sleep! Here’s a picture of him with my husband. The bird’s name is Albert.

In our mostly tamed and artificial surroundings, the wildness of birds is a precious and vital joy.

Lately I’ve been reading about the measures that Democratic governors are taking to resist Trumpism, and allowing myself to feel hopeful again. Gov. Newsom is finding ways of circumventing Washington and building on his state’s economic strength. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/04/04/g...

Hate to be a buzzkill, but my husband’s parents never exercised, ate high-salt, high-trans fat processed food and lots of sugary stuff, and had tons of health problems. Both of them lived to be 89 years old.
