TGIF, agreed? Fridays signify, they represent. End of the work week (sometimes), and the beginning of the “weekend”, an unknown and open space that’s different for many of us — different schedule, different clothes, different destinations, different work and play. . . .
Weird how a digital space can feel that way, but News Views, with its different look and feel, has a “TGIF and tomorrow’s Saturday” feel, a “Whatcha wanna do,” feel and “let’s check out this new pizza place or park or book store'” with an emphasis on “New”.
What’s the saying? “The only constant is change. . . .” That’s what we’ve seen this week at News Views, on our screens, outside our windows, in the political landscape, in the things we take for granted — prices for food, predictable seasons, a president who makes sense, law and law enforcement we can count on.
Today we feel it, I know I do, that the weather is strange, the president has relocated to an alternate universe (this time permanently) the courts are a crapshoot and as in the old Twilight Zone episode, we ‘ve awakened in a new neighborhood, and we’re looking around at the old familiar and the new unfamiliar somehow combined.
I listened to a podcast yesterday — Nicolle Wallace — and the topic could be summed up this way, “Here we are. So where are we?” — the upshot was (with a guest I was not familiar with, but who was AWESOME) wherever we are, however new or unfamiliar, one thing we know — when we get up and face the day, in our various ways we’re going to keep fighting, trudging, adapting in all probability, and that odd thing will happen again, the old familiar and the new unfamiliar will combine into something else. . .( we need a word for that — any ideas?)
Welcome to Free Chat, here at our elegantly cool redesign, where our NV community brings it on — the ideas, the rants, the updates, the jokes, the news of the day, whether micro or macro, from wherever we might be at the moment. After another crazy week where the only constant has been change, what’s your take? Let’ talk about it. . . .what’s going on in your neck of the woods?
