Election Night!

I had a routine doctor appointment this morning, so worked late to make up for that. I got home around 6:50. The California polls are supposedly open until 11pm, which is 9pm here, so I didn't expect to see definitive election results until then. I was glad I turned on the TV so that I was able to see Obama's acceptance speech!

I always wished I could have seen MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech in person. I'm so glad that I got to hear Obama's speech live. This is really a defining, historic moment, and I am so proud to be an American. I have to admit that he made me misty-eyed. Though I laughed when he promised his girls a puppy. Obama looks like a St. Bernard or golden retriever kind of guy. I predict a big dog in the White House... No more Scottish terriers...

He's just a few weeks older than I am, and I marvel at that. Could have been President Eva! ha!

Locally, it looks like Mayor Mufi has been re-elected. Rail, the big question, seems to be leading "yes" by 5 points.

My heart is so full of many good things - just don't have the words to express it.
