Thinking of John Lennon
There is nothing I can say about him that would not be something I heard somewhere else. But I was reminded that he died 40 years ago today. Which reminded me – I don’t recall a time when I learned of his death. As I think about it, it seems that I have always known of his death. But that it happened in 1980 – somehow is making me wonder how or why I don’t recall learning / hearing the news.

Deeply Divided?
What has to be true for us to accept that we are deeply divided?
I don’t accept that 75 million votes for a candidate and 80 million for another is the measure.

Thanks Giving 2020
So much that I’m thankful for. Thankful that we are here to be thankful. Thankful that we have the opportunity to work on things that might be going so well in our lives or those around us.
Thankful for all those who make every moment to be thankful for.

Back to School
We no longer have to actually go “Back to School” to go “Back to School”. I have known this for a while now. I have even had created accounts on various learning platforms for more than a couple of years already. But have just not been able to get myself motivated enough to complete any of the courses that I had signed up for.
Hoping to make a change this time around.

Listening while Disagreeing
With the obvious acceptance of the reality that we live in a more divided nation / community, we must accept that there are those around us who do not share the same values as do I.
That we don’t share the exact same values should not be a surprise. Actually it should be the “norm”. Our individual values are built over the life we individually live.

Joe Biden Projected Winner
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are now projected by many of the news medias as the winner of the 20 Electoral Votes of the Common Wealth of Pennsylvania. And with that giving him the 273 Electoral Votes (279 by some counts) and the Win for the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. As someone with left of center political views I am excited by this news.
The fact that Biden might end up winning with more than 75 million votes cast in his favor is definitely something that I will looking at for a long time with great pride.
The fact that his opponent got north of 70 million votes in his favor is not something that I can, or will, ignore.

2020 US Election
Last time I wrote about the US Election, it was about the 2016 US Presidential Election and it was focused more on the presidential election process. And it looks like I stopped writing / updating it on Oct 23rd. Wonder why I didn’t continue thru the end . . . .
Anyway, this time around I am writing, or at least I am starting to write, on the over all Election. I feel we have come to a point where we as individuals have to take some ownership in this whole political system. We have become so used to saying “it’s a broken system” without looking at what I can do about making this less broken.
