That lying sack of crap, Anthony Fauci M.D., stole a year from us.\u00a0 And more than a year.\u00a0 He smashed millions of small businesses that took lifetimes to build up.\u00a0 He drained away the life savings of a generation of hard-working people.\u00a0 He interrupted and marred the education of tens of millions of children.\u00a0 He imprisoned a nation of 330 million and delayed marriages, births and every hope and dream of a nation.\u00a0 And the most horrible thing is that it was for no benefit whatsoever.\u00a0 The same people who would have died from COVID did die and are dying despite all of the useless torture that was inflicted on the healthy population of our country.\u00a0 He is a tin-pot Pol Pot.\u00a0 May he roast in Hell.<\/p>\n
But yesterday was a renewal.\u00a0 Almost all the descendants of my parents were gathered together in one place and time and enjoyed a party that included all the familiar and life-affirming rituals of a summer get together.\u00a0 And even the weather blessed us with perfection.\u00a0 Eighty-two degrees, bright sun with just a few wispy clouds, bone dry air and a refreshing breeze.\u00a0 Just warm enough for some people to go in the pool and just cool enough to let the young at heart toss around a baseball or play a few lawn games with their kids and grandkids and even let one person watch her great-grand-children play.<\/p>\n
Camera Girl in her culinary wisdom decided that instead of a barbecue she would cook the traditional Southern Italian peasant feast.\u00a0 Ziti baked with cheese, eggplant parmigiana, meatballs, sausage and to start with, our version of an antipasto.\u00a0 Huge portions were devoured with zeal and fueled loud and animated shouting about amusing and nonsensical things.\u00a0 And in my earshot, there was not a moment of political discussion or anger.\u00a0 Spirits were higher than high.\u00a0 The highlight of the day for me was a four-way catch with two of my grandsons and a nephew.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t really had a good long baseball catch since forever.\u00a0 Even the afternoon sun that was directly in my eyes I found enjoyable.\u00a0 I actually felt young again.\u00a0 Maybe today my shoulder is a little sore but it felt fine while we were out in that golden sun.<\/p>\n
When my younger daughter showed up with her little 2 \u00bd year old girl the baby was terrified by all of the old fat strange-looking men shouting to be heard over each other in the meal hall I set up with folding tables and chairs.\u00a0 After all, she has spent her entire conscious life in lockdown and hardly saw anyone but her parents and grandparents.\u00a0 A cacophony of sound and strange faces truly frightened her.\u00a0 But her mother was smart.\u00a0 She took the baby outside on the deck and then into the swimming pool that she loves and there she was able to meet and play with the other children and slowly by degrees bring her back to the crowded areas where even the loudest old men were, at this point, too gorged with food to make much noise or even move.\u00a0 So even that residue of the Fauci curse was lifted.\u00a0 From two to ninety-two everyone was partaking in an old-fashioned family get together.<\/p>\n
And I will be honest when I say that the relief to finally all get together made this the most enjoyable, least stressful gathering I can ever remember.\u00a0 By the time the pie and ice cream and coffee were finished and sun was long below the horizon everyone was satisfied and ready to gather their children and say their goodbyes and head back on the road to home.\u00a0 But promises were made to get together at the other homes for other occasions and other holidays.\u00a0 Labor Day and Thanksgiving and Christmas lie ahead.\u00a0 And we have broken the ice and hopefully we won\u2019t allow that creepy little man to steal anymore of our lives away again.\u00a0 It\u2019s over and normal life has returned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
