Any military veteran knows what a short-timer’s calendar is intended to do. Its role is to remind you how much time you have left until your next duty station … or when you can go home for good.<\/p>\n

I kept one along the way during my two years in the Army in the late 1960s.<\/p>\n

I am thinking now about starting a new one as we count down the days of the Donald Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: We have 49 days to go before President-elect Biden takes the oath and becomes President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.<\/p>\n

In just seven weeks, Donald Trump will be out of office. He will be a private citizen, but sadly will retain his Twitter megaphone, which I am certain he will use with reckless abandon. The good news, though, is that he can yap, yammer and blather all he wants as a Mar-a-Lago resident; it won’t matter one damn bit.<\/p>\n

Yep, I think I just might start a short-timer’s calendar. Holy crap, man. I want this guy out of my face.<\/p>\n

Forever!<\/em><\/p>\n\n
