Questionable considerations...

I have finally realized that the world will not stop its headlong dash into catastrophe until two men die -- Felon47 and Putin. If they leave this mortal coil, soon, we might have a chance to avert disaster. But I don't see that happening, and nothing I have done or screamed about has made one damned bit of difference, so far.

I'll continue to support Ukraine as best I can, and keep up on the news, but the majority of my time will be better used learning to to promote the books I've published...and finish writing the books I want to write.

I only have a half-dozen in the works.  Darian's Point. Dair's Window. Blood Angel (parts 4-7). And the fact is, I may not have that many years left in which to do it.

I'm not making resolutions. I know I'll slip back into my old habits, now and then, but for now I have to move forward and let the world handle itself. No one's willing to rein in two of the worst humans to exist and there's nothing I can do to change that...believe me, I've tried with my reps and other Democrats.

So like ending contact with an addict who is not interested in addressing their disease, you just have to let go and back away. I've done that a couple times, before, and it's hard...but it saved me. You cannot help someone who does not want to be helped; they will only drag you down with them.

Life's roughest lesson.
