It's a Friday. I think I'm going to take a vacation day. Grateful to be able to do that. I know so many don't have even one day a year off that's paid.
I don't plan on watching the ceremony, but instead will focus on some quiet reflection at home, or if weather permits, a long walk somewhere nice.
It just doesn't feel right to let it pass as just another work day. And I suspect for me it will be a very emotional day. Not just because Trump won, but because a man who I think so highly of and admire so much is exiting stage left.
It just doesnt seem like 8 years since I stood inside a high school football stadium in Springfield, Mo. the Saturday night before the election.
I grew up in Oklahoma so it was the first time I had been around so many like minded people in my life. The line snaked through a residential area. We waited 4 hours to get in. My feet were shredded by the end of the night. It was magical.
I hope however fellow DUers choose to spend the day, they find at least a moment or two of peace.
