OBAMA!

Jubilant.

And very, very tired.


Stayed up all night to watch the election returns (first ones came
back just after 3am). Watching the concession and acceptance speeches
this morning around 8am (having been there since midnight) at the
Obama Cafe (with fellow Americans, Ethiopians, a Brit, some Dutchmen,
a few Canadians, and a German) was one of the better things I've ever
done. I actually cried with relief.

Congra, Obama, as they say here.
