I have to admit.. I laughed at this..

Today after church and all that.. some of us were sitting around and rehashing the election.. when a member who I know is a republican joined us.. and asked... "What happened to you guys and your early voters or turnout".. You know that feeling where you just want to rip into someone and let the devil take the hindmost..

Well I sat there.. steam coming out my ears I am sure.. but it was a legitimate question.. when one of our table who is even older than me.. said..

"They are still sitting out there with their fingers stuck up their nose, waiting for who knows what"

Well I have to tell you, we all lost it, laughing so hard .. just the way he said it..

Waiting for Godot, who never seems to show up. "Godot will not be coming today." Godot will never come. And there we are, sitting under the tree, still waiting...

inaction, and the thing hoped for will not come, so nothing ever happens.

We are Godot. We are here. We simply have to stand up and stop waiting for a mythological character to arrive.
