I should be celebrating today, but I’m feeling a little bummed out. I guess it’s because, in concert with my wife this morning, I’m finding myself wondering why we (she and me) live where we live. We’re fairly happy that Obama won the election. She’s ecstatic. I’m have hopes that the downward slide of the […]
