Back

Back after a long hiatus with some random musings:

1. This election season has been anything but dandy thus far. Two very unpopular candidates. Ms. Clinton is making it awfully hard for folks to vote for her. Her tendency to stretch the truth is not exactly an endearing trait. And on the other side of the ring - well, what can you say? Words fail me. 
2. That Mr. Trump has gotten thus far reflects poorly on us the electorate as well. It is often said that "we get what we deserve". Apt for the circumstances
3. On the personal front, this parenting thing is hard. Why did anybody not tell me how difficult it was going to be? You are learning on the job from day one and boy it is one tough job.
4. Slate has an article on sexual assault on long haul flights. One line stood out and made me squirm:

” One German flight attendant stopped by to explain that “people, they move around in their sleep sometimes” and that “Indian men do this all the time.”

          Really? Is that how people think of me when I board a flight?
