This is me, Anita Marie.
A long time ago I used to live in Hawaii and then we moved to Seattle.
I climbed trees lot. I even climbed them when the branches were covered with snow. I always made it to the top.
This is Luis.
He grew up in Iowa and used to raft on the Mississippi River. He used to climb trees during lightening storms. He used to get up into those branches as well.
He ended up in Seattle too.
We are about to meet our first Grandchild, Jemma.
I think she is destined to climb trees too.
I hope she makes it to the top like me and Luis did.

Today I got my James Comey Book, A Higher Loyalty and because I got it delivered to work I only had time to zip through the Author’s Note. I usually skip that part because for the most part they’re no fun to read.
This time I read it.
And it was a total LOL moment.
The biggest criticism I’ve heard about James Comey by disgruntled Hillary Clinton supporters and talking heads and Republicans ( which is a puzzle to me – because if you go down that rabbit hole he helped Twitler get elected ) is that
James Comey is prideful, over-confident, and driven by ego.
You know who else says that?
James Comey on page two of The Author’s Note .
I probably found that funnier then I should have.
I used to work at a bookstore and it was my job to sell books like The Turner Diaries and other White Supremacist BS books that would make a decent person’s eyes bleed before you got through the first chapter.
What I learned by reading those books and having conversations with the people who read them was this- I’d no more tell a person NOT to read write a book than I would burn one
My reason though, probably isn’t what you may assume.
When somebody commits their thoughts to paper, they are exposing who they are and how they tick. You can wrap your story in well structured sentences or emjois but it doesn’t matter because you’ve just given the world a road map to your brain.
So to my friends who wondered why I would buy and read a book that I have been told ‘should never have been written’ all I can say is this- if you have started to walk down that road- the one where you feel that’s it’s ok to tell people what to think and what to read- you probably need to read this book more than I do.

I don’t want to go into the weeds about how Russian Trolls and Racists looking for their place in the sun, Bernie Bros and dare I say it poor judgment calls on Hilary Clinton’s part cost Democrats the White House and that James Comey all on his own cost the Country a sane President.
Face it, we got played like those people on the Twilight Zone Episode called “The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street”
I’ve had a front row seat and actively participated in Party Politics, Campaigns and interactions with Politicians and learned the hard way that sometimes the good candidate who was going to be a great leader doesn’t always win.
People are people and there is nothing new under the Sun and if you don’t believe that you CAN’T be figured out and worked into a Campaign Field Plan, all I can say is the advertising industry doesn’t make a gazillion dollars for no reason at all.
I said I had two things to say here and here they are:
First off, I bought three copies of James Comey and Joe Biden’s books because my Hillary ” friends” on Facebook flamed my Comey and Biden Posts and dropped the eff bombs to boot ( and I don’t drop eff bombs on ANYONES wall let alone my own- except for in rare occasions ).
So Hillary Supporters and Bernie Bros- this is where I say, Bite Me.
This is my blog and not my Quippy Feed on Facebook and this is where I put anything I really have of value to say. So let me say it again.
Bite me.
Second of all, I learned something interesting about James Comey when he did his interview with George Stephanopoulos last night.
When James Comey had to meet with Twitler in the Blue Room he actually tried to blend in with some blue curtains ( because he was wearing a blue suite ) so that he would not have to touch Twitler’s P*&! Grabbing hand on camera and in front of the entire World.
Who could blame him, but I digress.
I discovered Comey wasn’t one of those FBI agents who mastered in disguises. I thought they could all do that. Frankly, I was surprised, really surprised and a bit disapointed. I mean Hollywood, you really suck sometimes. I bought that idea.
As to the rest of the interview- it was great. I hope it makes Twitler and all others concerned bust an artery.
I consumed much popcorn, drank a little wine and felt that my call on Comey was a good one.
