Momentous and Saltines

The ink sealed the deal today and a chapter ended.  Or began.  The world lived on, but a little piece of certain people died a little.  What else to do but to nibble on saltines just minutes away from midnight.  True to its name, Skyflakes crackers, tasted like bits of heaven.  Ever my comfort food -  thank God, for starch and salt - nothing else feeds on sorrow until it is all eaten up.
