Obama!

I wonder if anyone else is feeling this post-election feeling – a mix of elation and depression. I’ve been so fixated by the various races – swore I wouldn’t get too mixed up about the Presidential race, but ended up like everyone else – fixated!!!! The media did a good job of turning something of a landslide which was known for months into a spectacle which shouldn’t have gotten as much attention as it did, IMHO.

All that said, I’m pleased with the results. It seems that we’re moving in a more progressive direction. I’m excited to see what the new Senators – Warren, Baldwin, add to the mix in the Senate. I’m excited that in Oregon the tie in the House is broken which I think will lessen the amount of gridlock there. Perhaps we’ll even see movement on my eliminating phonebook legislation – After the phone book…

I’m definitely in a more contemplative mood than I’ve been in a long time. Looking forward to this weekend’s socializing to talk about some ideas I have.

I’m also spending time tying up loose ends. Something I learned in the past – when you have time, tie up loose ends. That prepares you for things coming up that you’ll want to attend to. So, I’m doing some household stuff, and getting off some campaign email lists, doing laundry and clearing my head and space.

Thanks for listening 🙂
