My fellow Americans would rather have a convicted felon, real estate fraud, failed businessman, sexual predator, philanderer, twice impeached, traitor, seller of state secrets, coup organizer...
than God forbid...
a woman of color as president.
I don't understand my country.
Ashamed of my fellow Americans this morning.
Well, like most Americans today, I have some anxiety about today's events.
I hope my candidate wins.
I hope there isn't intimidation or foul play at the polls.
I hope there isn't violence when the results don't go the way one side wants.
I hope we have a swift, clear cut and definitive result.
I hope there isn't violence in the weeks leading up to the voting certification or the inauguration.
I hope that the vast majority of Americans are rational, good-hearted, level-headed people.
I hope I'm not being naive.
Josey Records opened a location on the east side this weekend. So I had to stop by. Good selection and nice folks. Walked out with Weezer's Pinkerton.
Well, Jackson's marching band career is over after four great years. The Kaufman Marching Band came in 5th, one spot away from a trip to State. Second year in a row they've missed it by one spot under questionable circumstances. Some of the judging was sketchy. One judge had them in first. Two others had them fourth. Two had them 5th. And after prelims they were in the top 4. But mysteriously dropped down a spot after finals that allowed a more well known program into the top 4. Oh well, they had a great four year run. It's amazing how quickly it's all over.
Last week our town had a Night at Stars Hollow event downtown, just a couple of blocks from our house. Fun night.
One night last week we took advantage of the nice fall break evenings to make s’mores and watch Harry Potter under the stars (and a comet)
