I was #336 to vote at my polling place today. People were taking photos. I wish I had. I can't believe. I cannot believe this day has come.

John and I heard the announcement at dance class. Sally was putting Rose to bed when they heard yelling from the streets, so Sally stopped bedtime routine and took Rose outside to be part of it. I'm so glad.

I never thought I would live to see a black man elected president of the United States. I have hope that people around the world won't revile our country. I have hope that we will be called to service, not shopping. I have hope, desperate hope, that we will end at least one of our wars.
