Fear

I've had cancer this year; I've lost a dear friend to suicide. More intimately than COVID-19 (which raged outside my Brooklyn window this spring, but not inside my house, thank God), it's given me perspective on the plausibility of some worst-case scenarios. The worst can happen. It often does.Anyway, I sent a donation to the Biden campaign yesterday, and this morning I got an email from his people asking me why I'd done it. "Fear," I answered. Then they asked me if I want to give them money on a weekly basis. I almost answered yes.
