Greetings

Dear Readers—regulars, visitors, everybody!

No, nothing dramatically bad is going to happen to me!  I just woke up today in a sort of contemplative mood.  The politics of this election year has me in a sort of fight-or-flight mode, and though I tried very hard not to present an aggressive face to you on this blog, it took a lot of effort.  Since Kamala Harris has been headed to the nomination, a huge weight has fallen away.  I feel calm, and energized, but in a quiet way. 

This morning, while I was browsing my Facebook (yes, I have one, but I don't tell everyone about it) I saw a post about Taylor Swift.  She's so interesting!  I haven't been a fan, so far; I haven't got into her music, though some years ago I heard her do a cover of a Beatles song, and I thought it was interesting.  I should check out some Taylor videos on YouTube, which would be the quickest way to hear a sample of her music. 

My parents strongly influenced my music.  I loved the artists they idolized, but they're dying now; a generation is passing.  (By the way, have you noticed how politicians rarely tell us what music they like?  After Clinton, we hear very little about popular music from the White House, except maybe the Obama White House.)

Well, good morning to you all!  I might get inspired to write more, in which case I'll add it here, or make a complete new post.

P.S. : well, I did listen to several Taylor Swift songs, and I liked a couple of them.  I didn't like the videos; they featured Taylor, front and center, so anyone who thinks Taylor is super cute will like them.  (I so think she's cute!  But not to die for, or anything.)

P.P.S:  People arguing about Caitlin Clark are talking past each other.  Some people—mostly those who never watched women's basketball, such as myself, and those who only watched men's basketball,  which appears to be a different game—keep saying that Caitlin is drawing lots of viewers to watch the game, and selling lots of tickets.  So be nice to her. 

Others are saying: she's not that good, and other senior players are actually better.  (They don't care about the money.  Actually, I don't either, but I like Caitlin anyway.)

Yet others are saying that she's a problem for the coach.  The coach says: just don't mind me,  I say weird things in the heat of a game. 

Caitlin got left off Team USA (the Olympic team) for apparently some shady reasons.  But Olympic team selections are usually shady anyway.
