No, not really, although I haven’t yet read my horrorscope for the week. I’m being optimistic here. The weekend lowdown… I had a brush with political “greatness,” and simultaneously with a very passionate man, while drinking Filt. Saturday, did fun and exciting things like… grocery shopping! And, I twisted and tied about 6 million shirts for a fall festival next weekend! Oh, then, I ate pierogies. Yum. Yesterday… ok, it started raining on Wednesday evening...

Remember that word, “hope?” It may be creeping back...
Today is a huge day, for DC, for the US, and for the world. I woke up to the sounds of crowds of people (on the news, of course) rushing to the Metro, in anticipation of today’s grand events… for a fleeting glimpse of our new President.
