My fiancee and I have a bottle of Bailey's Chocolate on standby

Old-timers on DU may remember ChickMagic, my beloved wife, who passed away in 2010. One of the best damn DUers ever.

It took forever, but I found someone else. Her name is Sandi, and she was born and raised in Upper Michigan. She has a daughter living in California. Sandi and I are getting married next year.

One more thing: Sandi doesn't like Donald Trump one damn bit.

So we're watching the election results trickle in at home, an unopened bottle of Bailey's Chocolate on the kitchen counter. We'll use it either to celebrate our hard-won victory or drown our sorrows.

P.S. - Aside from being a sweetheart, my bonus daughter is Puerto Rican. Boo-yah.

Hoping to join in the celebrations from Australia. My neighbours and I are having a US election watch party this afternoon and hopefully my bottle of Riesling will be a celebratory one.
