The results tonight are very much a shot in the arm.
Now if we can only get some forward progress here in Texas.

(2,136 posts)My own birthday is coming up in about a week. I know of so many other November birthdays and I always get a kick of reminding people to count backwards nine months to figure out why.
Cynics can say what they will about greeting card companies making a big push over Valentine's Day, but I'm glad that my parents fell for the hype.
