When I woke up this morning from a nice, long sleep, I was a big groggy and I started thinking about one of the final scenes from “A Christmas Carol.” Scrooge has just awakened from a very rough night, throws open the windows and asks two boys down below what day it is. “Why, it’s Christmas Day,” one replies. Scrooge is delighted.
When I shook off the cobwebs and headed toward the coffee maker, I said to myself “It’s Election Day!”
(It’s a political-junkie thing. The rest of you probably wouldn’t understand.)
