Report from Laurel Canyon

So, there I was on the top of a mountain in California
at a silent yoga/meditation retreat and the election
was on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, before the first
stretching, invigorating highly spiritual yoga session,
I took out my cell phone, secretly, in my private room --
and I called home. A brief sabbatical from silence.

I said: Who won? who won!!!?

She said: Who won? Don't you know! Seventy percent of
Massachusetts voted to decriminalize marijuana!

Fantastic, I said, but who won? Wasn't there some kind
of election for president?
