There’s Got to Be a Morning After

“Look, I really don’t want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you’re alive, you’ve got to flap your arms and legs, you got to jump around a lot, you got to make a lot of noise, because life is the very opposite of death. And therefore, as I see it, if you’re quiet, you’re not living. You’ve got to be noisy, or at least your thoughts should be noisy, colorful and lively.”

American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter, Mel Brooks, was born on this day in 1926.

I didn’t watch the debate last night.

If you did, do you feel more secure about our country? Do you feel more secure about your candidate?

I will say that, based on the commentary and the memes (glorious memes) it was not a good night for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. That’s as far as I’m going with that…for now.

As a recovering political junkie, you never quite get over it, part of me wants to provide my own commentary. But I don’t want to play that game.

I’m probably getting a little too close to it by the links I post at the end of these articles.

I was supposed to see a theater event last night, and as the wife also had a music rehearsal, she picked up am Asian dinner on the way home. I promptly had a violent reaction and spent the evening with chills aches and nausea.

I’m better this morning, just very week.

Sort of like the rest of the country feels after the debate.

Too soon?

I won’t name the establishment that made me ill. Let’s just call it Speedy Black and White Bear.

It’s the weekend and there is much to do. Today I’m sort of recovering from last night’s experience.

Sort of like the rest of the country.

I’ll be fine.

I hope the country will.
