America is partying tonight....my wine store is almost sold out of sparkling wine of any type!

They told me they sold more champagne today than on New Years Eve.

My son sent me a picture of him slamming a bottle of champagne in the streets of Manhattan surrounded by other students (at a safe distance and in masks) who were celebrating.

My daughter walked to Boystown in Chicago and sent a video of the crowd (again all in masks) dancing and singing.

A giant pall has lifted over our nation!

I am lifting a glass now...cheers to DU, without this place I would be insane.

I don't think about, but if I did not have this site I have to wonder.

Giddy is the best way to describe our calls. We had to live thru 2 horrific golf cart parades for Trump. Imagine being one of the 3 black families in our community and having that parade drive by the front of your home 3 days after your 28 y.o. son died from Covid.
