Time To Cash In My “Chits”

Becky Sauerbrunn paying homage awhile back….

What an absolute gutting way to end the work week. I am certainly not going to be articulating anything new or original on Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her legacy. I did enjoy this piece on her workout.

It’s tempting to delve into what her passing will do to an already polarized electorate ramping up for an election that already had pretty high stakes, but it is not something I am interested in at this point. The other thing is that if anyone actually purports to know what is going to happen between now and January 20th, 2021, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

I’ll focus on what I can do. I may not live in a state with something “major” at play (swing state for President or a flippable Senate race), but I know I have the ability to contribute in ways that expand beyond writing a check. COVID has forced us to be brutal about our choices and how we prioritize different aspects of our way of life. I have saved up a lot of “chits” over the past 6+ months.

I’m ready to cash them in. How about you?

PS — “I can’t” is not a phrase that exists at this point in time.
