It’s Saturday. The day to get the wash done and all those mundane things that need doing. Ugh!

We got back to the City yesterday. The snow had completely disappeared so it musy have rained. Thus we were spared that uniquely urban landscape of dirty black snow. Instead it was cold and windy. The nice thing is all the people here who are really happy that we will soon have a new president. We ran into complete strangers who wished us a Happy New Year and said they were waiting for the real celebration on January 20. Now all we have to worry about is how much damage Dicky and his friends can do between now and the inauguration. They can and will do as much as they can.

I watched Chris Matthews’ special recapping the year yesterday, in the middle of the night. (No, there was nothing else on.) They said all the usual pap and nonsense. But, Pat Buchanan said that neo-conservatism is dead. I don’t think I’ve ever said this before, but I hope Buchanan is right. The Retugs still left in the Senate are fighting to maintain their “vision” though. I can only hope that their antics will get them ridicule and malice.

Have a good Saturday. Monday will come soon enough.
