Hot, hot, hot.....& not just the weather

I know that for most people the weather has been chilly or even cold. Here, it is summer, and it has been extremely hot—to the point where sweating while sitting is normal. Not only has the weather been hot here but the political scene has been hot everywhere.

We stayed up all night watching in anticipation on the outcome of the presidential election. There was a lot of late night eating—barbequing an almost 5 lb steak and roasting a lot of chicken. At 6 this morning, we celebrated Obama’s election of president. After watching both Obama and McCain’s speeches, we headed out to work where we were surrounded by all of our co-workers celebrating. Everyone was hugging, laughing, dancing, and cheering! It was an amazing experience, and really wonderful to see other people become excited as us. Yes, this is biased to my political opinion so I apologize for offending anyone…however, McCain did say that Barack Obama is president now and we must work together for the good of the United States of America.
