I Feel a Little Better Today

Sort of like the day after a bad hangover.

I noticed that a lot of my co-workers came in late or not at all yesterday, which makes sense, seeing as how I work in the arts and there are likely more Democrats here than elsewhere. I live in what is widely considered the conservative/Republican city of Dallas. I've never lived in a city before where Democrats are "in the closet" or where sometimes they keep their opinions to themselves because it's just easier when you are in the minority. So even though there were late arrivals and no-shows, I didn't hear one person talk about the election. It's an interesting and saddening experience.

I've met a lot of Dems here, Texas Southern Dems, who many would have you believe are a dying breed. I don't think that's true. Outnumbered, yes, but not dead. And life goes on.

I'm going to Austin tonight to meet up with Nate, who had to travel there for work. Kinda funny that we had to be there last week for my job. This time I get to just have fun and drink and relax and recover. I hope you do the same, R, D, or L.
