Elizabeth—I have to disagree with you about the value of writing about your child’s POV while the political and social life of the grown-up world swirled around you. Both are fascinating to a reader. No one can tell that story but you. And to be the only girl in a male-oriented household is another good story. IMHO.
Sally, I didn't mean to dismiss my childhood memories or their impact on my writing. Was just saying that my father's career and his political life are not sufficiently interesting to me to try writing about them. And that's usually what people want from me when they suggest that I write a memoir about my father.
An excellent narration. Kuodos with love and hugs digitally!!
Thank you. So appropriate for the Trump.
Dies irae. - I am angry against everyone who voted for this quintessence of immorality
I think they are finding out very quickly who and what they voted for.
Poor Joe. I'm sure he is turning in his grave. I am hoping he will sleep soundly again in four years
Et .. Dominus vobiscum to you too.
and in regard to the inauguration
Dies irae
Dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sybilla
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus
Cunta stricte discussurus
Dally, I remembered some of this, but not all of it. Happy to provide this translation.
The day of wrath, that day
will dissolve the world in ashes,
as David prophesied with the Sibyl.
How great a terror there will be
when the Judge shall come
who will thresh out everything thoroughly!
<sigh>
Glad you pointed this out - and I wonder how many Uncle Joe's are gyrating in their graves as their houses are bought up by this crowd!

Sorry to misunderstand. I’m much less interested in your father’s than in yours. I love hearing about your life.
