Before Sleep Comes
I must say that this is the first election night in several years when I haven't felt like throwing up. We'll see how it goes in two years. But I am disappointed with Wisconsin...

For my 16th birthday, I told a friend of mine that I wanted a box of Legos. She gave me a big ol' box at school, and I carted it around with me all day because it didn't fit in my locker. Most people thought I was weird, but I never much cared what other people thought. That box of Legos is still at my parents' house, for the niece and nephew. And me when I visit.
The kids like it when I make big towers and castles...sadly, they like to have me make things for them more than they like to make things themselves. This is a trend I am working on reversing, because they need to be more creative. (We also need to work on their picking-up-the-Legos-skills, because Mom and Dad have a policy that they throw away Legos left lying on the floor...the depletion is dismaying.)
Anywho, I've been thinking I should get another box for myself. You may think I'm odd, but I'm not the only one.
Goodnight.

Posted by: shank at November 8, 2006 07:27 AMCongratulations. I remembered your post from the day after the 2004 election(in your previous incarnation): "Well, that sucked." I wanted to echo that statement from the other side of the political spectrum.
Anyway, kudos to your guys and gals. Should be an interesting couple of years.
PG--I lived through the last 6 years. You can make it for the next 2 or so.
