We were treated to an important moment in BR3’s life last evening during our FaceTime call. We saw her first experience with solid food. The ABFA prepared some oatmeal and cautiously spooned it into BR3’s mouth. Since anything coming within range of said orifice is immediately placed inside the mouth she had her first taste. It was so funny to watch the range of emotions play over her face. First surprise, followed by consternation, and then a quick gag. I couldn’t tell if she was pleased or angry but she certainly looked fascinated. This might be the first stage of curing the automatic mouthing of anything that comes within range.
Further south the FBR
is totally engaged with her birthday tomorrow. She called this morning and proudly
proclaimed that tomorrow was a very special day and what did I plan on doing to
recognize it. It’s so much fun having her reach the age where we can share these
type conversations. I told her she as so special that the Federal government
had declared November 11 a national holiday. I’ll let her get a little older before
she has to realize she has to share it with veterans.

BR3's First Solid Food
There is still no
concession from the Twitterer in Chief but the American people have inevitability
on our side. For all those who are excoriating Trump supporters for his failure
to concede, it’s time to look in the mirror. Are you one of those people who incorrectly
said, “Not my president” four years ago? At that time, I thought those comments
weakened our cultural norm of accepting election results. Well, the shoe is one
the other foot now and it’s time to admit you were are as wrong then as those refusing
to accept the 2020 results are today. Biden will be our president just as Trump
has been. It. Is. Time. To. Heal.
Not Too Sure About This
