I dreamed about election night, certainly not for the last time, and woke up thinking we had elected Ronald Reagan president and he was 102 years old. After work we were watching the opening ceremonies at Duplex Diner and I knew from memory that the only safe choice for me to order would be spaghetti and meatballs. They did not disappoint: Parmesan shavings made the noodles silky on the tongue, and we were so hungry that we also had a big plate of pigs in a blanket, interspersed with tater tots of the same shape and texture.
