Well, in these dark days of fall, with upcoming snow, freezing cold, and endless nights, at least we have January 20th to look forward to. As a once-upon-a-time world traveler, I feel that my country has finally redeemed itself. Instead of starting another war for oil or military maneuver to protect our international corporate interests, instead being a bastion of isolation and ignoring the planet, we have finally made a bold and bright statement. We have elected an intelligent, well traveled, globally inclined president. A man who puts it all out there, and does NOT say My-way-or-the-highway, but rather, "It is time to work together to be greater than our parts.". A time of hope. A time of brilliance.
And now that we are bound to have some color in the White House, perhaps next this nation will be ready for a female in charge. Hey, I can dream....
