If I remember correctly, Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration.

I don’t think any Dem should attend but the meek and mild Dems will go as slaves to protocol that they want to follow even though the Repugnants do not.

Yes or a long swim :-)

Yeah, now you're talking! (But be sure to swim back, LOL)

Trivia: J. Craig Venter went for a long swim after serving as a combat medic in the Vietnam War and upon receiving a "Dear John" letter from his girlfriend. He'd left his clothing in a pile on the beach and swam out as far as he could with suicidal intentions. When he saw a deadly sea snake circling him, he realized he didn't really want to die and swam back to shore. After that, he devoted his life to scientific discovery and mapped the human genome. (He related this story to me when Mark and I interviewed him many years ago.)

The ocean has a way of recalling you to yourself. I lived in Hawaii for 10 years and used to swim way way out not because I was suicidal but because I wanted to put distance between myself and the human drama. Many times I was joined by curious dolphins and once by a barracuda that sent me hurrying back to shore :-) I would still much rather swim than walk. I think I would have liked Mark. What a wonderful interview that must have been.

Why would you go to a party by people who smeared your names, lied about you and were rascist? I love that Michelle is not going. I would not go either.
