What I Did During the Attempted Coup

I made vegetable soup.

I watched the spectacle on television with my father. He called the Republican Senators who raised objections to outcome of the election “lower than a snake’s belt buckle.”

I drank a gin and tonic.

I took a walk.

I listened to morons on sports talk radio talk about sports while a mob was trying to overthrow the government.

I got my first haircut since the pandemic hit.

I ordered a supper of fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy for my father.

I read the 25th Amendment aloud to my father and wondered if Pence has the ball to invoke it.

I talked to friends on the phone.

I read on social media that the mob was actually a group of Antifa thugs.

I read a sign a man carried around at the attack that said: “Make America’s Penis Hard Again.”

I watched an episode of the Rockford Files with my father.

I wrote in my journal.

I watched the Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis sprinting in every other scene
