223. Return to Normalcy

Now that the election is over, I hope to get back to using weekends as free time, time to enjoy the late fall colors, or what is left of them, by making a few road trips here and there.

I started that process yesterday making an impromptu trip to the State Democratic Headquarters where Governor-elect Beshear and his team made their announcements as to who would head the transition, the one outgoing Governor Fletcher promsised cooperation on, as well as to make a few early Cabinet appointments.

From there I cruised around Frankfort, taking the "old road" back to Simpsonville, before cutting over on Veechdale Road to make the I-64 trip back into Louisville. It was my first real trip out of Jefferson County in several weeks.

Tomorrow I may run up US 150 West to French Lick and the new casino. Maybe. Maybe not. Other than a formal dinner Saturday night and John Yarmuth's 60th birthday party on Sunday, the weekend appears to be clear.

Don't expect mich blogging between now and Tuesday. Happy (Early) Veterans Day. On that day, keep in mind all the veterans who have served in the past, as well as those who will be veterans whenever the President and the Congress decide to end the current war.

No future date is soon enough.
