In spite of election BS, nasty weather and PMS to boot, I am in a surprisingly good mood today. I have a job, a place to live, a fiddle to play, a great husband, three furry critters, millions of fabulous friends, and the season's first batch of split-pea soup cooking at home in the Crock-Pot. Down to almost 120 lbs., and last year's trousers are too big. Mrs. Spaw and jeffp's kitty are on the mend. God's in his heaven, all's right with the world (mostly).

Anyone else?
