Day 13507, & brace for impact...

So, that might be a bit dramatic.

First let me say, I never drank the Kool-Aid.

That said, I don't despise our president elect.  I am just not sold on his plans.  I will also say that 2 years ago, as Jay and I planned for our new business venture, I did not envision this kind of CHANGE.  Had I spoken to one of Dionne's psychic friends, I might have done things differently.  I might have made different choices.

I am not going to be a sore loser.  Yes, I said loser.  I voted the other way.  I voted with my business and my employees in mind.  I voted fiscal.  Call it selfish, but I call it realistic.

Those of you who are blue are probably still thinking that I am crazy for my choices.  I am not going to defend them.  I am not going to rethink them.  They are, after all, my choices.

Likewise, I am not going to criticize the choices of my blue friends.  I am actually going to hope that they are more visionary than I can be.

Meanwhile, I absolutely refuse to call this a "revolution."  The connotations of that word, to me, are too extreme.  I find that term offensive when used by people who only have themselves to blame for their situations.  Trust me when I say I know quite a few...

I will hunker down and hope for the best.

P.S. The company holiday party is cancelled in leiu of my anticipated 2009 tax burden...
