Here's one thing I am looking forward to: standing again for the national anthem. For 31 years I didn't stand for the national anthem, I stood at attention. Eyes front, body turned toward the flag, shoulders back, feet at 45 degree angle. I never said a word during the anthem, never clapped until the final notes had faded away. Came out of attention to parade rest. But I stopped when Trump politicized the anthem and "supporting our troops" when he attacked Colin Kaepernick for kneeling. My protest was that I wasn't going to stand anymore. And it was hard as hell. I'm eagerly anticipating being able to stand once again.
Subtle but POTUS twitter account has switched to Biden. And Trump's personal account is still suspended.

Hey, all. I have not posted in the P&CE threads since December 15, 2020, as I attempted to take a sabbatical from politics and posting*. Have I missed anything? (other than the very, very serious debate about bicycle helmets and whether people who choose not wear helmets should be disenfranchised) [*of course, I failed miserably, as I can't quit you all. I did avoid posting, but it was tough!]
