I had trouble sleeping last night so I slept until 7:30. I watched the market take off and for a change it went up today.  The Dow ended up 128 and the NASDAQ up 280. And I regained about 1/4 of my recent loses with a gain of 1.66%

I ate granola with milk and yogurt and blueberries at 8:30, but I was hungry again at 11:00 so I ate a pain au chocolate and at 11:30 drove to the meeting at Central Trailer Supply.

Susie served a lovely spinach salad with grape tomatoes, carrot strips, cucumber slices, and pieces of yellow bell pepper with slices of pepperoni pizza from Costco. It was a lovely lunch finished with a wedge of chocolate bunt cake.

At 2:00 I drove home and was pleased to see that high tech was back in favor. In fact all of my gain for the day was in two stocks, Meta and Nvda.

I looked for my tax materials and found them after lunch, so I shall finish my 2023 federal and state tax returns soon.

I finally lay down at 4:00 and soon Suzette arrived and we were cheered by the unity of the Democratic Party around Kamala Harris.

I watched her speech to the NCAA champions in the rose garden and her later remarks at Biden Headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware. Both were impressive by their clarity of vision for the campaign and empathy for Joe Biden, who has done something for the good of the Nation, something that Donald Trump would never think to do. 

We watched the news and then at 7:00 Suzette made fried rice with PPI chicken breast and grilled steak with carrot strips, and chiffonade sliced snow peas.

Suzette wanted plum wine so I fetched the bottle of plum wine we bought on our trip to Michigan.

The plum wine was very a very refreshing addition to the meal.

After dinner we watched the Antique Roadshow and then Lawrence O’Donell and went to bed at 9:00 feeling much better about our country than we did Saturday. Lawrence announced the breaking news that Kamala had secured commitments of votes of a sufficient number delegates (1976) to win the Democratic nomination at the convention and $81,000,000 was raised from small donors in the first 24 hours and commitments from large donors exceeded $250,000,000.

It looks like the Democrats might be able to win the election if the enthusiasm and support Kamala has gained in the last 24 hours continues for the next 106 days until the election.

From two old white men this election has shifted course dramatically and just might result in the first Black and first South Asian American being elected President.
