I know everyone was mourning Robin Williams yesterday, and he was in my thoughts, too. But my mother died August 11, 2019, so I hope Robin will forgive me if I was a little preoccupied...
Little Women is 1 of the greatest books ever written. I wish more people today would read it. Teddy Roosevelt admitted unabashedly that it was his favorite novel. You are so lucky! Congrats! I grew up reading my mom's Orchard House edition, but the one illustrated by Louis Jambor is my favorite.
What a coincidence! The first album I got was also S&G! Also still have it.
Just FYI - a lot of us Boomers are Progressive antifa types, who have been fighting Trump/MAGA-style ideology and policies since the 1960s. I went on my first anti-Vietnam War march in 1970, and I'm still marching. Please don't lump us all in with MAGA. It hurts.
In real life, too many to count - parents, grandparents, friends, teachers, siblings, etc. But from pop culture:

Meanwhile, in the deep red corners of the Appalachian Mountains of Western Maryland...
Has anyone besides me been checking the Washington DC weather forecasts for the last week hoping for massive thunderstorms to take out Trump's cage fight tonight and hopefully destroy the obscenely ugly arena he has built...?
If he wants to celebrate his birthday with a cage fight, why can't he go to a cage fighting venue with his buddies and then have a cake and a piñata in the event room like the rest of us do?
Congress will never remove a POTUS, either bc he's of the majority party & their power depends on him, they're cowards who fear him, or they're opposition party but don't want to set a precedent which may come back to bite them. So The People MUST have the power to oust him/her by popular will!
