There are not many moments when I wish for televisions in the Green Frog, but tonight was one of those nights. Although I was able to follow the election results via computer and CSPAN it wasn't as intense as watching it unfold on the TV. So myself and three others watched as an unprecedented number of states turned blue. And I smiled.
Our band tonight was Donny Hue and The Colors. They were great. High energy and some good ol' pop rock. Not much of a crowd due to the fact that lots of other places have that big shiny box that sucks them in, but we all understood. I can say this: I was not tired of politics at all. Not having TV saved me from the incessant waves of attack ads that I'm sure many others were forced to watch. Not one ad. That makes me smile.
I'm smiling a lot today. There is good reason. History has been made. This is as big as the World Trade Center coming down. We are done with the fear and the threats. We are done with the deaf ear to the people of this country. We are done with George W. Bush for good. Man, that feels good. I will miss having an articulate president though...

I'm glad you have a blog. I hope you keep up with it. I love you, Mom
Welcome to the world of blogging James. I am adding you to my list and expect the girls will get a kick out of checking out your posts. Me I am feeling a little blue over the blueness of our country :) But then you would expect that of me wouldn't you. I am willing to give our new President Elect a chance though. Times are tough and getting tougher. Love, Aunt Sue
