I have no scintillating blog topics today, because:

1. I have fallen into clinical depression over the election results.

2. I am considering a move to Scandinavia, land of my forefathers, where they have progressive governments AND potato pancakes. (Although, there are the pickled herring to also consider.)

3. I am reading Philippa Gregory‘s The White Queen and little Edward has just been born in sanctuary. Who can concentrate at such a time?
