Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

How can two weeks go by so slooooowly?! Still 10 days until the inauguration, and every day is like weeks. I'm worrying about what tricks Trump is up to, and how hamstrung Biden will be when all I want him to do is get the vaccine rollout going and for us to have some non crisis days in which everyone doesn't feel the urge to write their congresspeople. Is that too much to ask? I'm hoping the Twitter-Facebook shutdown will mute Trump's voice. I just don't want to hear it vicariously any more. I did my best to avoid seeing him or reading anything about him, but somehow through osmosis, I could not avoid his diatribes. I want Congress to quietly and competently do its business, not posture and rant and be indignant and selfrightous. I am an admirer of Nancy Pelosi, and she seems to be getting what needs to be done accomplished: calling for removal or impeachment, removing the nuclear codes from Trump's unstable grasp, being short on words and long on actions. If anyone can whip Congress into shape, it's her. And I appreciate her not waiting for Biden to become official, but is doing this right now in real time. And she's older than I am and has the energy of my grandchildren. She reminds me that we ain't done yet, no matter what our age.
