A reminder of the gawdawful.

I avoided TV and radio programs today. Because I’d be reminded that it’s the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Didn’t want to think about it. Though that’s what I’m doing now. Makes me sad. Don’t like being sad. Reminds me, too, that America is a very violent nation. Lots of shootings. Killings. Robert Kennedy. Martin Luther King. Of course, not everyone is shot. Black people have been  lynched, too. Yes, so many things I don’t like to think about. Makes me forlorn. Also wise for me to ignore American politics. So horribly depressing. I’ve also stopped celebrating my birthday. Falls on 9/11. Which reminds me of something gawdawful. –Jim Broede
