There are way too many disappointing people in the news these days. I’m thinking about all those disappointing people in positions of power committing cruel and illegal acts and all those disappointing people letting them get away with it.
At the same time, I work with wonderful people who are worried about disappointing people. Many of them had disappointing people as parents who undermined their self esteem.

Sorry to disappoint you with that word, Barbara!
I saw that Orson Welles documentary about Nostradamus when I was a kid and had nightmares about the 1986 return of Halley’s Comet marking a worldwide famine and cannibalism. That didn’t happen, of course, and I no longer take Nostradamus seriously.
Prophets are often disappointing, Chris.
