Quote of the day:

The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.
—Friedrich Nietzsche

I may not have made it to a No Kings protest—and to be clear, I was only going to go in order to snap some photos, although I was wearing my Visit Canada T-shirt so if someone mistook me for a protestor I wouldn’t have minded—

—but my cousin Kathy did go and sent me a video.

Kathy belongs to a Raging Grannies of Annapolis group.

In the video they sing a song, and I think she’s the one in the front row in the red shirt.

In Kathy’s email giving me permission to use the video, she confirmed that:

I think that Mickey would love it. She’s the one in the middle and spokesperson. Yes, I’m in red with blue apron and pointy rhinestone glasses. If you see any Annapolis rallies and see bubbles, I’m known as the bubble person. I’ve been at the State House with my bubbles, too. I used to wear the TACO hat, but gave that to another person to wear. I’m grateful for our Annapolis police, cause they charge after the Trumpers that squeal their wheels and speed through our rallies. They LOVE us.

And we LOVE them! I think we’re taking a hiatus for a little while. Although I think Lucy wants us to perform at the Governor’s Mansion to protest Avelo Airlines.🤷‍♀️. NO KINGS, EVER!!!!!

On a completely different topic, I just watched the second episode of the new season of Elsbeth and there was another Sondheim reference. I wonder if they’re going to have a Sondheim reference in every episode this season?

On a different topic yet, I went to my favorite nut shop yesterday, and there was a trainee behind the cash register who asked me if I qualified for the senior discount. At which point the woman next to me, who had white hair, was bent over, and needed a walker, piped up, “Can’t you tell by looking at him?”
