Scottie managed to keep me up part of the night, standing guard at the back bedroom door or awaiting the return of Jennifer which wasn't gonna happened until mid-morning. Lauren and I took a detour into LG to get a crepe at the Farmer's Market before dropping her at Pano. Tommy spent most of the day at Caden's which gave me time to chill out. I watched "Dark Money" and really enjoyed it, although it's thoroughly depressing to realize how little opportunity there is for any influence or representation that's not filtered by and controlled through special interests. It's sickening. I like being conscious of it and it will certainly impact my actions going forward. I am torn between wanting to be an aggressive activist to just making the rest of my life focused on enjoying life, while I have it, regardless of the machinations that control our political systems. On the other hand, there's so many areas of progress that have been made over hundreds of years that took lifetimes to see substantial changes in. So complacently won't move us foward as a society and species. And it's disheartening that some people only see opportunities for themselves without weighing the impact on the opportunities of others.
