So glad you have signed up to receive the For Random Learning Comes Newsletter! This is the fifty-sixth edition. Previous editions can be found on the blog's Newsletter page. I send it out weekly, so if you don't get my email on Saturday morning, please let me know! (Check your junk and spam folders too.) My five latest posts are at the end of this newsletter, latest first. *** This week I was moved to outrage by the most recent January 6th hearing. On Thursday, Cassidy Hutchinson, the assistant to Mark Meadows, Trump's chief of staff, testified at length about what was going on behind the scenes prior to and during the riot. My first poem, Remarkably Indecent synopsizes some of her testimony. But rather than blaming anyone in the White House, it points a finger squarely at the Republican electorate who voted Trump in, and the Democratic electorate, who failed to keep him out. The vote is the last, best hope for mankind. I hope we will all use ours with more care the next time around! The second poem, A Losing Battle, is another lament about housekeeping, which never seems to get any easier for me. I'm sure that there are one or two of you out there, who commiserate with me. Have a lovely week! Andrea *** If you haven't signed up for my newsletter yet, I hope you will consider doing so. And tell your friends! There's a blue signup form on every page.
