Not a holiday here. At least, not the day off from work kind.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

I can remember when Election Day was a holiday ... at least, I remember school being closed, but that may have been because the schools were polling places. Luckily, Friday IS a holiday here.

As a public service, the Washington Post has a "Relax 2016" playlist - brief (less than a minute) videos of things that are low key and generally restful. Like this.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Misha is in Cincinnati, right near campus, and I find out about it after I drive home?
Oh well. I'm exhausted, anyway, and probably shouldn't be on my feet anymore today -- I was using my walker today.

I just got off the bus at 5:35 right by where Mischa Collins is supposed to be, and there was already a big crowd of young women on the sidewalk. I'd estimate about 40 people.
Also, we got canvassed in person for the first time today - just a sticker left on the door - and Dillo is very excited about it!

I shall do some basic grocery shopping this evening then order a calzone for tomorrow while watching happy movies and surfing election websites intermittently. Note to self: get a universal remote for the BluRay player so I can watch the commentary on Fellowship of the Ring. I need to listen to some Hobbit actors being snarky and talking over Sean Astin.

I got a ride home. As long as I'm horizontal I don't feel so bad. I hope this doesn't last too long.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
-t, I'm glad you got a ride home. I hope the headache eases up soon.
