the packing and the parade

 Yesterday I packed for Santa Barbara as I watched the Valkyries parade along with some more happy political news. It was a very good day. I did get in a nabe walk and a late lunch and now I am ready to dress and get to the airport. 

Important update ~ I am leaving MsBook Air here at home and I will next report in on Monday, the 9th of November. Busy days ahead. Stay safe and positive, dear readers.

oh boy, oh boy, oh boy

 The Blue Tsunami yesterday was even more than I hoped for. Democrats winning in Texas, Ohio, Georgia, and even South Carolina. Unbelievable. Amazing. Now we need to get to work on restoring this country to the land of the free and the brave. And yes, let's ask Musk a few questions under oath along the way. Impeach Kegsbreath, please. So much to do in 2027, but the citizens are behind you. Hooray!

change of book

 The Book Club members voted to delete Land and now we will read Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson for our December gathering. I read this years ago and loved it, so this agrees with me 100%. But for today I'm all about election results and my fingers are crossed. 

and once more in 2026

 On Thursday I fly down to Santa Barbara for a reunion of the folks who were on our Danube river cruise last year. I am reluctantly starting to pack and am not eager to leave the most comfortable little home in America, but I know we will have a wonderful time and I really, really like most of these people. Really.

what a WIN!

 Even the dusty old SF Chronicle surprised me this morning with a small special section dedicated to our Valkyries and their amazing Championship WIN last night. It was touch and go for most of the game, some terrific basketball and so every good for women's sports everywhere. And good pizza, too.

just a reminder

 Argh. My least favorite time change. Too much darkness. It will help if we are celebrating the Valks tomorrow morning. I am grateful that the digital things around here change without my help. 

I had a feeling...

 Right from the moment the Valks got into the Finals I was dreading Game 7, and yet I knew it would happen and now here it is. Tomorrow night, right here at home. I will host a small pizza party and we will wear violet colors and sit in our "winning" chairs and scream at the TV. So much fun, so agonizing.
