This is a bit obtuse buuuuuut.....

The composer John Cage wrote a piece entitled 4’33” which was a group of musicians assembled on stage and a piece with no sounds were “played” for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Many jokes were made but my favorite was Leopold Stokowski who stated that he “ ...looked forward to works of major length from this composer.”

Since we are timing moments of silence for the 8’46” that that miscreant murderous cop and his accomplices killed this poor man, I would state that as a memorial I would look forward to silences of Major length from Trumplestiltskin.

Unlikely I know....

As an addendum, the fifth thing That went through my mind when I heard that my brother had died was that he did not live to see the end of Donald Trump.

1. My aunt died back in October.

She didn't get to see the end of Trump either.

After reading what you wrote, I imagined what it would be like to tell deceased loved ones what has happened since then.

If you say what has happened in 2020 either out loud or even in your head and imagine telling someone who wasn't here to see it, it sounds utterly absurd. It sounds unbelievable. It sounds just crazy, for lack of a better word. My aunt would not believe me in this case. I honestly don't think she would believe me if I tried to describe 2020 to her. Nothing much ever surprised her, either.

I just hope I live long enough to see the end of Trump in our WH. I'm still social distancing. So, it is hopeful. I just wish my aunt was here to see it. She used to cuss every time we went past the pictures in the VA. She loved Clinton and Obama, so she never cussed about them. She cussed about Trump and Dubya so bad in the VA, I thought people were going to attack us, but no one ever did.

2. Great story.

That generation is almost completely gone. A real loss.
