Kids had swimming lessons last night, so we stayed for open swimming afterwards. They're both turning into fish. John likes to go underwater. And Hanna is know enjoying diving into the water. She likes to play in the very shallow end of the kiddie pool, but she dives forward, face first and does a mighty belly splash. Afterwards, John likes to take long hot showers.

Have a midterm test on Friday for school. Yay.

Been fun reading the wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from broken and downhearted Democrats. Gadszooks, the things some of them say. Like, they talk about secession even! Liberals really are remarkably intolerant. It goes without saying that anti-Christian intolerance is the one remaining fashionable bigotry. And it's never very long before they start talking about how smart they are. Liberals make for exceptional snobs. I say they should all just keep it up. Voters understand very well what they mean, and the election totals reflect that. I could live with the Repubs being in the majority for a long time to come.
