Not eccentric at all. Intelligent and thoughtful. Thank you. Just back from a trip to North Lake Tahoe for a family wedding at the gorgeous Edgewood resort, and then the Berkeley City Club for a week to see friends. It’s cool and rainy in Seattle, really a lovely afternoon and evening. Yesterday I was in San Francisco for a haircut. When I rose out of the Montgomery BART station, the autumn sun, the fragrance of the air, the slant of the light, made me think, Oh this is my town, and I miss it. By the time I left the city four hours later, I realized it has changed and I have changed, and maybe is no longer my town. When I took a walk after my Lyft dropped me at home this afternoon, I thought, Maybe this is home now. I’m in a middle place, but feel a shift toward this place. Like @KSL (Kathy) above, I’m very nervous about the election. Tomorrow I’ll fill out my ballot for Harris/Walz. Even if they win, we have much work to do. I think a lot of it is convincing people that they can replace fear and hate with love. So many of us are so far apart. I’d like us to find common ground and connection. I think those things exist. xo.
