9:00 am is just too early. However, I may get into the Monkey Shoulder Scotch later in the day.


On edit: I may have a sip for Biden's speech. I did so the Saturday morning when his win was announced by the networks.

My libations will be later. But I do have a special beer chilling in the fridge now for that time. When I can relax and put the burden of my day down, but also the burden of Trump down.

Self employed and we're wicked busy...I did tell my staff that I wouldn't be in until after the swearing in which is 10am my time. I do have champagne chilling for tomorrow night, however.

In my part of the world we were introduced to wine at Sunday dinner - there were no age restrictions and we were allowed a sip of Chianti. Still like that but it's not cheap here and a good glass of red is fine with me.

I teach until 9:30 tomorrow night, but after 35 days of restricted use of my right hand (early December sarcoma diagnosis and skin graft to protect), I get to type two-handed starting at midnight.

I plan to celebrate with something, and technically it's before noon.

I have a feeling my cuppa of joe is going to have a splash of Powers while I watch that Picasso of Pettiness gets on the plane. I do have enough Edradour to toast Joe when he’s sworn in.
