Diary 276

Saturday, December 19th

Today was once again filled with the squeals of delight that arise when small girls get on sleds and careen downhill. Plenty of wet clothes at the end of the frosty olympics (with added Kung Fu snowball deflection demonstrations), and hot chocolate to make sure everyone got warmed up again.

The beautiful thing about all this is that it reminds me, yet again, just how little one actually needs in order to play and have a really good time. We grown ups tend to forget this.

I notice that ‘vice-president’ Pence got his covid vaccination yesterday. I’m confused. I thought the vaccine was for essential workers? There’s nothing essential about Pence, one of the enablers of injustice and corruption.
