Frying pan

Fareed Zakaria writes “out of the frying pan” and it is hard to think of a more appropriate metaphor for the day when Trump finally leaves office. I still remember the unease I felt on the night before Trump’s inauguration back in 2017, as those offering “seemingly swift and simple solutions to every world problem” were about to take over (to borrow the posthumous words of John F. Kennedy).

Starting the morning with a morning run around the lake as it was only -9 degrees, the kids will have to be home today as well in accordance with the new rules. As for Fareed, I received his Ten lessons for a post-pandemic world in the mail yesterday and I look forward to reading it shortly. But first, some waffles and that West Coast coffee.
