Today isn’t a joke holiday- sorry if that is what you are looking for. Today is American Legion Day. My father is the commander of a small Legion post.

Today we commemorate the passing of the 19th amendment to the US Constitution- the amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote. In light of recent events and some of the rhetoric coming from the far right this seems more important than ever. I recently read The Handmaid’s Tale.
