We woke up at 6:00am this morning so that Tim could go to the polls to vote for the next president of the United States. There was a great energy here from the people waiting in line as everyone was energized to vote for Obama. The line wasn't as long as we thought, but we were glad we got there so early. Aoife seemed to be very calm and confident about the whole deal.
It was a very anxious day. I went to work and most of the teachers wore blue and had badges. We had all pooled in our money to rent a boat for our escape to another country if Obama had lost, but thanks to the great campaign and the will of the people Obama won. It was a joyous occasion. This country can now move forward beyond shame and embarrassment to a brighter future with hope, patience, and integrity.
