We stopped to ask directions and the young man at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. He gave us directions and walked outside to point us in the right direction.

Remember, the country was in dire straits financially, and as a Black comedian quipped… hell yeah, the country is bankrupt… might as well give it to the Black guy… When Obama was elected to a second term, watching Steve Kornacki literally running the numbers in a frantic dance of returns and projections,  I/we stood in the living room and held each other in tears of joy and utter amazement. It’s real, not just a fluke; America has turned the corner and taken a huge leap forward. Then Trump, the insurrection on January 6th, 2021, the saving of democracy by the integrity and courage of Vice President Mike Pence to stand up to the man who would be king… in my opinion, President Biden did a great job to keep America whole and guide us through the pandemic.
