Dao is a doctor and all five of his kids are doctors. Daughter seemed very nice. He and his wife left Vietnam in 1975 on a boat. Scary at the time, but he thrived here. Said being dragged off plane like that was scarier than fleeing Vietnam. He is emotional traumatized. Daughter says all kids are shaken and upset. Couldn’t all come to Chicago. At least one still in med school.

I have to say I probably knew little, if any, when I was in Pittsburgh, just based on how few Jewish kids I knew [we had literally ONE in our HS} but going to law school at GW I learned much in the way of Yiddish just based on my peer group and friends.

The DC swamp emits a stench
To drain it will be tough, hence
Hold your nose
See how it goes
At the top we now have our mensch

Yeah, same with me. But college and Seinfeld instead of law school.

One of my high school teachers may have been Jewish, but I didn’t know any until college. One kid, Glen Rosenthal, once amusingly accused me of spewing “down home” sayings.

Hillary’s not a wo-mensch either. She does exhibit all the signs of de-mentia though.

I am having a rough few days. Went off all pain meds due to anxiety attacks, yet they continue. I sobbed for an hour this morning for no real reason. I have pain, but it is not from my knee. My so called good knee has some shooting pains at times and my feet hurt. Usually they don’t but I do have some neuropathy in them, although they improved a lot recently. I cannot take much more of this. I am stir crazy. I was only on tramadol, but even that is an opiate. Less side effects, but still. I just want to be normal. Get out of the house and live a little. Not happening. It’s getting me down. So maybe a bit of depression, but I think not. Really could use some prayers.

Pres Trump showed China’s pres
That even though he is a mench
He will multi-task by dropping
A bomb on a tunnel or a trench

All the terrorists hiding there
Will just get vaporized into dirt-
And he serves his dinner guests
The news along with the dessert

Mother-of-all-bombs along with
Some beautiful chocolate cake
Subtly says we’re badass again-
Best not make a stupid mistake

Maybe it takes time for those side effects to wear off-stay positive as you can. Cabin fever is enough to give anyone a major anxiety attack-even without meds...

Can you go outdoors at all-even sitting in the back yard in a chair in the nice, fresh air might be helpful...

Tuesday I went to my daughter’s restaurant. Almost done and so very cool. I sat in chair on deck overlooking the river. Will take video for you all when it’s done.
