Never Celebrate Too Soon

President-elect Joe Biden's rocky road to victory, feeling reasonably optimistic about the results before Election Day, the doom and gloom of the initial counts, rising hope as the tide of the results changed, the emotional experience of this election compared to previous years, recalling a history teacher's account of the pattern of past presidencies, Trump's last days in the White House playing out like the final scene from Training Day, the misrepresentation of Rudy Giuliani in the recent Borat film, Biden still being a bit of a corn flake, the poor sportsmanship of Trump's supporters, never celebrating too soon, and a roundup of my recent reading including "Misery," "Fight Club," "Sphere," and "Jurassic Park."
