And it's finally over...

I do not envy President-elect Obama in the least; he's got a hell of a lot of work ahead of him, and a number of falls to take that he likely can't do anything about. But I'm very happy that he's won, and I sincerely hope he turns out to be even a fraction as different and special and wonderful as he promised during his campaign.

But if nothing else, he's intelligent, calm, measured, and rational, and that puts him miles ahead of most potential candidates. And charismatic. I won't have to instinctively wince every time someone turns on the television.

And for the first time in years, I finally have some hope for our country's future.
