Thank God

I went to bed before they called the election.  I was tired, and fighting off a cold (the cold appears to have won), and apprehensive about the eagerness with which Democratic victories were declared with zero percent of precincts reporting (I'm looking at you CNN).

The Girl was up in the middle of the night, and as I was rocking her back to sleep in her dark and quiet room, I relished the media blackout.  It had to be over, but the world didn't feel any different.  After I put The Girl down, I hesitated to check the computer: if it was bad, I knew I wouldn't sleep.

I'm glad I checked.  

In the words of that great female visionary and super cool explorer, "We did it!  We did it!  We did it!  Hooray!"

I've read some great writing about Obama's victory, but you are the first to quote Dora! Too funny.
