I work from home just about every day, so I’ll have Fox News on the TV as I work and FR on the extra laptop. And Facebook and Phillynews.com so I can enjoy the lamentations of the liberals. I expect at least an 8.7 on the Richter Butthurt scale.
I will say a prayer of thanks.
I am an old man who spent the last few days prior to Nov. 8, trying to cope with the idea that my last years may be spent watching the final destruction of the country I love and have served.
Don’t have full details yet, but a rye Manhattan (in honor of Trump being from NY) or two might be in the offing.
I can say without hesitation that upon Trump’s swearing in, I will fall to my knees and give thanks for surviving the Obama disaster.
I’ll have the popcorn ready and enjoy the whole day and night.......;)
I will be listening to liberals keening and wailing while they gnash their teeth. I will be enjoying every minute of it.
We’ll be having hot wing pizza and lots of pick up foods. And a few adult beverages. MAGA!
I’m going to be there in the stands at the swearing in and the parade, and also at the pre-Inaugural concert Thursday, and the official ball Friday night at the Convention Center. Can hardly believe such good fortune and that my long-time connections came through with the invites. I’m floating on air.
Who else is going? Let’s look for each other.
I am off work in the afternoon, so will watch some of the inauguration stuff on TV (and hopefully have a nap with the cat). Then my husband and I are going out to dinner at an “old-school” steakhouse, for which I received a gift card at Christmas. We will spend the whole $100 for just the two of us. I might have to have a couple margaritas...
Pizza delivery, and reading FReeper posts.
Unfortunately I iwll be shoveling snow and mud. Live in the central mountains of New Mexico and we are getting blasted almost every week end since Christmas. Right now the mud on our one mile drive is a swamp. Snow expected tomorrow night and all day Friday so out with the tractor and shovel. However after I give out energy wise I can sit with rum and Coke and enjoy the reruns very much.
Working, streaming c-span’s coverage, and lurking on FR.
The flag will go up at dawn. After I get the kids to school I’ll log on to FR and keep track of things. I don’t really want to miss watching the events, but every network , incl Fox, seems to ruin things with their vacuous unending commentary. I will open and enjoy some champagne for the swearing-in.
Working in the morning, but a trip to the Pub for lunch, watching with a nice pint of lager. Golf in the afternoon. The idiot class had Monday off, I’m ducking out Friday afternoon.
Skipping out to play golf when the rest of the country has to work is way more satisfying than taking a federally recognized holiday. I always wondered what happened to all those kids I served detentions with in high school. The first time I played golf on a weekday afternoon I knew exactly what they were up to these days. It was like reconnecting with my lost tribe.
So as Donald fires off a few executive orders to undo the last 8 miserable years, I’ll mark the occasion in my own contrarian way.
I will celebrate ‘good friday’ (not capitalized, I mean no sacrilege) By drinking fine champagne in golden chalices with some great Americans who were Trump supporters from day one, who NEVER backed off their support regardless of the propaganda ministry!
Watching TV with my Trump cigar lit and an Adult beverage not sure what kind yet any thoughts? Later a little party at home, with some shrimp cocktails, my special Hot cheese dip, tamales and chocolate silk pie for desert. Watching all the festivities.
I will be taking my 13 year old granddaughter to the Inauguration at the Capitol in Washington DC — creating a wonderful learning experience and memory for her (and me).
I’ll be wandering around DC. I’ll have my 4K camera and my phone for updates.
