Hoo boy. It's been a week.
The election went down as predicted in some ways and not as predicted in other ways. There was indeed a "red mirage" as the initial count reflected the in-person vote count and then the totals inched toward the blue region as the mail-in ballots were tallied. So scary and worrisome.
Finally, yesterday, we who are on the right side of history got the answer we were awaiting. We were rewarded with absolutely wonderful speeches by the president-elect and vice president-elect.
But the universe takes as well as gives. Almost as soon as I went onto Facebook to see how my friends were reacting to the day's news, Midnight Oil posted that bassist Bones Hillman had just died of cancer. Of course, today Alex Trebek of Jeopardy! fame passed away. Al Roker is fighting cancer.
I want to write more, but I'm getting tired....
Over and out for now.
