election day 2008
history.
wow. the electricity in the air is palpable.
it feels like christmas eve.
it feels like the day before i get married.
this day.
THIS day
when we will elect the first african-american to lead the united states of america.
(never before has united meant so much.)
when the opposing ticket lists a woman for vice-president.
(whatever your opinion of her it is historic nonetheless.)
i am so proud of my country.
i am so proud that my son is witnessing this even if he doesn’t remember it all or remotely understand the significance.
but none of it matters unless you get out and VOTE.
