It's low-key here at Berea-Rose. We voted earlier today and are very eager for a happy result. But we're not watching any TV broadcasts on this night of nights -- the network news companies can kiss my garlic ass. Oh, and their advertisers too. I'll check in when all the counting is done. In the meantime, there's work to do. Broke the drain under the basement slop sink, so Mojo and I took a run over to the Home Depot just now. For some reason Mojo really wanted us to buy a plunger while we were there. And Tic-Tacs. We bought neither. I do have the plumbing piece I need and I may go downstairs and install it tonight. Or I may procrastinate further. Probably procrastinate. Cookie is here with me, insisting that a trip to Home Depot can only be boring. I am trying to convince him of the philosophy of life I shared long ago with Maria Rose: everything is funny. You just have to look at it from the proper angle.
