– So I’m just posting now, at approximately two. Sorry. Each week gets progressively more sleep deprived. I got ten hours of sleep last night; about what I got in the three preceding days. The better flipside of this is that I’m getting lots done.

– NOVEMBER – is Healthy Skin month.
– TODAY – is America Recycles Day.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Georgia O’Keefe.

– PICTURE OF THE WEEK –
When I was seven-to-ten years old, I was browsing a book on Carnival Cruise lines and I was totally captivated by a thumbnail sized photo of the “Oz Discothèque” on one of their ships.

– NOVEMBER – is the month of Georgia peacans.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Claude Monet.

– QUOTE OF THE WEEK –
“To be an adult is to be alone.”
– Jean Rostand.

– QUESTION OF THE DAY –
A paradox you enjoy.

Last Thursday was the Feast of the Lateran Basilica.

The Archibasilica Sanctissimi Salvatoris is the ecumenical mother church of Catholicism and the only Cathedral in the jurisdiction of Rome itself. This means that it has precedent over every other Catholic church, including the Basilica of St.

– NOVEMBER – is family caregivers month.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Marie Curie, Albert Camus, and Joni Mitchell.

– NEWS OF THE WEEK –
news.com.au – Air guitar in fashion.
It’s an article about an air guitar that actually works.

The fat lady sang.

END OF POST.

Between NaNoWriMo and the election and school, I’ve averaged between four and five hours of sleep a night for the last week. Until last night… I just woke up. You may have also noticed, I’ve spent altogether too much time blogging.

I feel bad.

Unlike some of you, I did not go canvassing or knock on any doors. All I did, in fact, was blog about the election here and vote myself. Which was surely less effective and impacting. And yet, it may have had more of an impact than I originally expected.

With victory, the Left is entering a very uncomfortable moment at present. Since Reagan, it hasn’t been your daddy’s Republican Party, and now it isn’t your his Democratic party either. Simply, the Democratic leadership made a bittersweet decision this cycle.

It was a beautiful thing.

Last night I was thinking back on my political experiences over the years…

2004 wasn’t quite a total bust. After the heartbreak of 2000, I had steeled myself for nights like this. My wife, who was then my fiancee, threw a party where we watched the results tick in as it drizzled outside.
