Gallows Humor

It’s not funny.  The world is in a panic.  And the Trump Administration is seemingly less effective than a little Dutch boy standing before the crumbling dam.

But in a gallows humor kind of way, it’s funny that even with the 30-day(*) travel ban from Europe, a ban imposed unilaterally and without consultation with others by Donald Trump, I will still be able to fly to Ukraine for my Chernobyl tour and Kharkiv marathon.  I’m supposed to transfer in Turkey (in Istanbul… no, Constantinople… a joke I use far too often), which is also not on the no-fly-by-order-of-Trump list.  Crazy times.

I continue to wash my hands.  And so should you.
