A belated Happy Diwali to all. Yeah I know I’m a week late.
Tonight I am typing to you as Kristen and I are sipping 16 year old MacCallan scotch. I’ll admit that my eyes are filled with tears of joy.

To some, the unthinkable happened tonight. For me and many hopeful others, the next step in this country’s evolution happened – Barack Obama is the president elect! What this does to boost the self-esteem and level of dignity for all people of color… all people of the USA cannot even begin to be measured.

I look forward to a new and smarter foreign policy. For hopefully a new mindset of cooperation in domestic politics. I look forward to our soldiers leaving Iraq and dealing with those who actually attacked this nation 7 years ago.

Here’s a toast to better days ahead!
