ReplyDeleteHistoric and wonderful!
Congratulations on your historic election! You might like to read this essay I saw in the paper today. I love the perspective and although I don't have the same perspective, as a much-moved army brat, I do have a different-than-usual perspective on global issues and so I appreciate the distinctions made.

Yes, Bill. I slept well last night, for the first time in several nights.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Julia. It is tremendously exciting to see people the world over inspired by yesterday's election.
