Today’s birthday is one I’d like to forget personally- people are understandably distracted, it’s a pandemic, I feel extremely isolated. But I won’t forget this one, because hopefully we voted for a 46th POTUS, leaving the 45th behind. I bought a hopeful little bottle in case.

This one is so different than my birthday in 2008, when I went to a restaurant and had fondue, and celebrated the 44th POTUS in college, surrounded by friends, with very little election tomfoolery. No one ate all my pizza and left me a tiny corner piece, or asked me for anything.

This is my tired best today. Hoping this is the beginning of a new era. Voting is the bare minimum for change, but today is still important. Birthdays will be better. Job interviews are coming (Fri.!). Vaccines will materialize. Hockey will be seen. 2020 will end. Cheers
