Breakfast for Breakfast

Overrun by my need to follow the nonsense that is the US political system, I have to admit that I am really nervous. More nervous than I was on prom night, but that was a bust. (He was 23, tall, dark, and hansom; when I dropped him off after the dance and he asked if I wanted to come in, I said, Why?)

I woke up at a hair past five this morning, what an ungodly hour. I couldn't fall back to sleep. I came downstairs to see if there was any news on the election front. There was not. There was relatively little news about anything else though either. I have begun to suspect that this whole 22 months of endless campaigning has got me so focused on a single event, that I have neglected my world view. With fairly narrowed vision, I proceed to take the goggles off. What! there is more to the world than our election! the dollar has made gains against the euro (I wish I was in Spain), Evo Morales has ousted US diplomats from Bolivia, Really?

It's good to be back in the world.
