Well this is what I have decided.  I have a choice, so I'm going to disassociate myself from the States.  I'd like to say for the next 4 years but that's unlikely.  Like all expats I imagine, I always have an eye and an ear or what's going on at home.  No more.  I'm taking my various news sources off my "bookmarks".  I simply cannot listen to or watch that odious man.  School today was bizarre.  The American teachers were all walking around like zombies.  We'd look at each other with wide-open, desperate eyes.  Our British counterparts kept patting us on the shoulders and saying, "And we thought Brexit was bad!".  I've had two offers of sponsorship to Canada.  I may take them up on that.  Though not far enough away.  Enough.  I am ABROAD and that's all I'm going to think about!  Good luck you left behind!  xxoo me
