I will tell you what I think it is. Truth is goodness, sweetness, cuteness and light. Truth is love…and hope…and a grinning baby. (This despite the indignity of a wearing a diaper on one’s head.)

I’m going to tell you a story that has nothing to do with the recent elections. Is that okay? The time change really screwed me up this weekend.
