Well kids, the election is over for the majority of America and it is a truly exciting time. Except for us, because our election is being recounted!! So our "victory" party turned out to be more of an ambiguous party, though obviously the overall mood was festive. Now we wait while the voting machines are impounded and recounted, and all the provisional and absentee ballots are hand counted. All in all though, I think we did well, considering we got within less than 1% of a 36 year incumbent. And now the partying begins. Well I guess it more just continues, we're having a boozy brunch and several house parties in the coming week. Yay democracy. And in the mean time, I plan to sleep a lot and watch lots of trash tv.
Also a little sad news on this otherwise happy day- bestselling author and scientist Michael Crichton died of cancer out in LA this morning. Darling Brother and I must have watched Jurassic Park a billion times back in the 90s while imagining that we were the brother-sister team running from the t-rexes and raptors. He will be missed.
