2017
This has been one of the best years for my freelance business. I'm juggling four regular clients and enjoying all of the work I've been doing for them. Debating the next steps for determining growth versus maintenance of the business. Wondering how much more time I'll have when the day-to-day activities cease when the youngest starts college next fall. Lots of fun choices to make.

Scary week for America
Reading "The Way We Never Were" by Stephanie Coontz. Last week was eye-opening for awareness of how much I don't know about history. I don't want to see America step backwards. From chapter three: "sentimentalization of middle-class family life justified terrible exploitation of those other families (African-American, immigrant and working class).
Last night the GOP launched Trump as their candidate. And I'm so sad. This is no longer the party of Lincoln or Reagan. We used to try to move people ahead, and he wants to grind people under his heel. Very much like Germany and Italy in the 1930s.
I miss the National Review when William Buckley and George Will wrote it. Political news nowadays is fear-mongering. No attempt to promote new ideas or vision. No attempt to bring people together. I'm glad I left the GOP before the convention.
As for the people who question why I left the party (and am currently unaffiliated) I share this quote from George Will: "I joined it [The Republican Party] because I was a conservative, and I leave it for the same reason: I'm a conservative... The long and the short of it is, as Ronald Reagan said when he changed his registration, 'I did not leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left me,' "
