Despite it being a dreadful weather day, I am happy to report that on January 15th, we received another gift to our family in a new grandson, Everett Edward Kocsis, 10lbs 5oz and 21 inches long. He is at home with mom and dad and brother Paxton and all are doing well. Words cannot express the happiness I feel with his arrival.Schools are closed today and teachers and students are rejoicing alike. Elijah and Marie were thrilled at the news this morning. And because I don't feel like slipping off the front porch, its a good day to write. The dogs especially hate days like this, going out to pee is problematic in that they cannot find a happy place to do their business. I am stuck inside peering at the rain on the windows and a porch that's like a skating rink with water on it. I fell on my ass recently and mostly injured my pride but bouncing back is not happening as quickly as before.
The dogs are staring at me saying like "well dad lets do something fun" awaiting their meal in about an hour.
Our government is still partially shut down and many federal workers will have no paycheck for the second pay period. Many are mandated to work without compensation. Families are obtaining food supplies from food banks, depleting savings accounts, and IRAs and rents are going unpaid. This is all because our president wants to build a barrier, however medieval around our southern border to satisfy his base and make good on a campaign promise. This whole process is upsetting to me in that there are people suffering through no doing of their own, no bad choices, no misspent capital. The Coast Guard, the TSA and others are protecting us for free, no pay. I don't know if I could do that.
In order to stop this dishonor of these heroes, give him his wall and fund the government. The suffering has to stop. I pains me greatly to say this.
all for now
