Some Thoughts from the Post, Post Party rePort, A Return to "Normalcy"
If everything had come true, there'd be nothing left to do...
In the Outlook section of Sunday's Post, there were side-by-side columns from Joe Trippi and Ed Rogers about each parties 2008 prospects. I read the Rogers piece mostly read him declare George Allen's Presidential ambitions dead & buried, but then I caught this blurb.
"We know what winning Democrats look like: Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Carter is the last Democrat to receive more than 50 percent of the popular vote, in 1976, and Clinton is the only Democrat to win election twice since Franklin D. Roosevelt. Former Virginia governor Mark R. Warner looked most like Carter and Clinton. But he dropped out -- to sighs of relief from Republicans everywhere."
Normally I wouldn't put any stock in anything Ed Rogers says, but I think he hit the nail on the head with this one.

I had shindig this weekend, celebrating the end of Cycle 2006. The party can best be described as Sager's Worlds Colliding. At final tally - I had 1 bureaucrat, 2 lawyers, 2 finance directors, 3 field staffers, 1 representative of the Japanese government, 2 English teachers, 1 bartender, 3 non-profit staffers, a sprinkling of private sector people, 1 sibling, and Jeff.
Now I find myself with a fair bit of leftover Cupcakes & Wine. I must figure out a way to dispose of these, in a fun and tasty fashion.

Warren Harding campaigned with the slogan "A Return to Normalcy". It did not take long for "Normalcy" to join the lexicon the same way other fake words such as "Embiggens", "Truthiness", "Cromulent", or "Honesty" joined. And now that the election season is over, I find myself returning to normalcy. There's only one more non-quarterly filing left (the Post-General), I don't have to be constantly carrying a Blackberry to be at the ready in case a campaign has trouble with software, and the long evenings are mostly done - at least for a while. My eating habits have started to return to healthy, I've started to work out a bit again, and I can sleep. This probably means that I'll be blogging a bit less frequently - but I can once again expand into other areas - music, citylife, travel, etc. But don't worry, I'll still find time to write long-winded diatribes about the state of domestic affairs.
