Many folks reading this may not know about this date. It is, evidently, slipping from our memories. Even if you were not alive, this date in 1963, changed the course of history and subsequently, our lives. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is still not, to my mind, a solved murder. Is 'assassination' a good term? It depends on how famous one is. The world is in chaos. The United States is being ripped apart by ideology that is anathema to people I know and celebrated by people I do not understand.
I really do NOT like politics. It makes folks behave in a way that will get them what they want. Telling the truth will not get anyone elected to anything: Blue or Red. But we pick and choose our colors and hope for the best.
"That can't be true," said the pretty young teacher, as we sat in mom's Pontiac at lunch. But, it was true. Dallas. And, it was awful. This is a little like what I'm feeling as December 19th approaches. And, indirectly, this had been predicted by a Ouija board that I was touching the summer before. Really.
