A plan for Election Day.

My husband is a political junkie and will no doubt be up all night obsessively watching the election results.

I will happily go to bed early and trust America to do the right thing.

Our plan is to vote late this afternoon and head to one of our favorite restaurants for a nice meal.

And cocktails.

If ever a night calls for alcohol, it’s this one.

  2. We are having an election party. We have friends from Santa Barbara who join us every presidential election because they don’t own a TV. It was a longer drive for them since the last election. We used to live four hours away from them. Now we’re nine hours!

  3. I’m with you, if there is ever a time to have some election libations its today. I will try and not view the election results “as they come in” because that is just damned nerve wracking. I voted early so I won’t have to deal with the mobs of voters today. I’m with you, I hope that America will do the right thing, that doesn’t mean it will but I hope and pray it does.

      1. I’d like to say as a collective we try, but politically Texas is as divided as the Red Sea, so it’s a toss up right now. This bullshit belief to keep Texas red is the mindset that a lot of Texans abide by, even if our State government is s clusterfuck of crooked politicians 😡.

  4. You’re waiting for night? My next espresso is going to include Scotch.

    I admire (?) your trust that the country will do the right thing. On the other hand, I have no interest in staying up to watch returns. Watching won’t change anything and I doubt the results will be known tonight.

  5. I grew up in DC and my dad worked as a Republican congressional staffer (until he got disgusted and became a Democrat). No way was I going to escape my fate as a political junkie. The nice thing about being on the west coast is that we usually don’t have to stay up late for the results. We can usually figure out which way it’s going to go before bed. I have my sparkling apple juice ready!

  11. As a Northern neighbour, America better damn well do the right thing! We already have too many climate-change-denying Conservatives up here. If Trump gets in again they will multiply geometrically. If the USA goes crazy we will be right behind you, and that I cannot deal with!

      2. The whole world knows that rational people tried – he has offended so many people: all women, all people of colour, his own nation’s proud veterans, it is hard to imagine who might have voted for him… and in such numbers.

  12. I really liked this post and agree with you in theory. However, from reading your previous posts and comments from your followers; you and I have different views of what “The Right Thing” is. Glad we can still be Followers of each other, though.

  14. I went to the VA yesterday. There were red baseball caps, rude bumper stickers and assertions regarding who gets to say what people think say and do. I’m a vet and these men and women are my sisters and brothers. I don’t agree with many of their views but I do stand for their right to have them and to express them. That said, I’ve got to say that they don’t make a lot of sense. Here’s why:
    During the 2016 campaign, when Trump and John McCain were competing for the nomination, Trump said that McCain was not a war hero, as if he would know anything about that, and that he likes people who don’t get captured. There’s a black flag in front of the hospital building that flies in honor and everlasting memory of people who got captured. I know “honest Don” would never say anything that wasn’t true, so that must mean…something. Buckle up.
