Hello Litopians!
I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas, a happy Holiday Season, and that 2025 will outperform all the dreadful (and merited) predictions to become your best year EVER!
After the US elections last November, I went into a tailspin nosedive of angst and woe the likes of which I have rarely experienced. Obviously the results of said race were NOT what I had hoped for. One of the many things that I did to cope was to author an extremely lengthy and emotional-charged (not to mention a skosh insane) journal-style post here in Fanfare.
Thinking that the composition of this offering would generate some interesting "cross-pond" discussion, I was taken aback by the fact that after almost TWO months, there was ZERO response at all! Not having any concrete info as to why this would be, I am going to opt for the most positive theory: the post was so buried in the vast forest of Litopian post-options that nobody saw it. If that indeed was the case, it was probably for the best.
As I couldn't figure out how to delete the entire original post, I chose instead to just rewrite it...the results of which you see here.
I therefore wish all of you the best and leave you with the wonderful words of Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" that I set to the music of Vince Mendoza's marvelous orchestrations on the Yellowjackets song "Greenhouse."
Enjoy!
Cheers!
