Regarding the outcome of the presidential election, my friend Timbo posed the question, "Where do we go from here?"
Where do we go? My answer is we go forward. We advance. In different venues and definitely with different tactics, we take the fight for what we believe in to those who would deny our rights and fill us with fear.
But not today. Today we're down. Today we lost. Today we graciously congratulate the victors and exit the field.
Personally, I'm taking a couple months off from all the politics and the
fighting. For just a little while, I'll let tomorrow worry about tomorrow.
I'm going to enjoy the holidays and the rest of the football season. I'm going to do my level best to show my loved ones what they mean to me. I'm going to cook some really kickass meals. I'm going to travel a little bit. I'm going to read excellent, engaging books. I'm going to play some games. And, as much as I can, I'm going to avoid the news.
If the outcome of this election felt like a body blow to you, I strongly suggest following my lead. We're all going to need our rest if we're going to be prepared for the fights to come.
