one more thing

i wanted to congratulate america on her new chapter, on her election of a brilliant man to the presidency.

i just had lunch with my surrogate family in celebration of the election. we had a whiskey- a jack daniel's actually- and a wonderful beef stew. we talked politics, and everything else, like we usually do. this, the closure of the campaign and the beginning of a new chapter, had particular significance, and was very fine. after lunch, we sat in the sun on the balcony. summer has set in here; it's dry and warm and beautiful. and before the sleepiness of a sunday afternoon sets in, i write to you right now, to anyone reading this, to wish you a happy day.
