A perfect antidote to the Inauguration blahs

I noticed that a group of my favorite musicians were playing at an indoor wine venue last night, celebrating the birthday of a great local sax player. We decided to go. There was a large group of cheerful people on hand, enjoying the wine and great food from a Mediterranean restaurant next door.
I have lived in this community for over fifty years and we rarely go anywhere that someone does not know me. Last night was no exception. Besides the musicians, whom we have followed for years, there were a half dozen others whom we talked to. The music went from 6:30 to 8:30, so we were home early.
Politics were not mentioned and no one wore any political garb either. It was a great night. Now we are getting ready to march with 5000 others here in the sister march to the Women's March in Washington, DC. It may rain, but that's okay too.

@allknowing It is a bit complicated, but it has to do mostly with women's rights. Here is some good info if the url works.

All of our presidents must be at least nominally Christian or they would never get elected. Trump gives lip service to that cause for the Evangelical vote, seems to me. He believes in Trump most of all.

It did go well, despite wind, rain and temps in the 40s.
