I will watch at home. Last night I was smiling thinking our country is finally going to be getting on a new path when it hit me. What if it doesn’t turn out like I believe it should. When Bush won the second term I didn’t think he would, and that is when I realized, just because something should turn out for the good doesn’t mean it will. It was a frightening reality check for me.

I know Marisa - I keep getting that “daymare” too

There is a lovely column on the Washington Post.com sight. It is by Cohen on the opinion page. It explains how we got here for this wonderful day. He goes back to LBJ in 1964 and works his way to now. I e-mailed it to all my friends. I’d put a link to it here if I knew how. I suggest every one go there and read it. Bev.

OK just got home from knocking on doors for Obama voters. All the volunteers are meeting in the city convention hall to watch the returns. It will be nice to be around people who are pulling for the same person I am. So in Jacksonville, NC we are going to party at the convention hall.

There’s a bottle of bubbly chilling in the fridge, and I’ll either be swimming in it or drowning my sorrows with it. My 16 year old daughter has a volleyball match at 6pm tonight (on the West Coast), and that’s where I’ll be, happily distracted for a few hours. I hope results shape up early.

Comfortable and luxuriating in a pair of indigo blue satin pajamas. A bottle of Napa Valley Pinot Noir uncorked, glass poured and white chocolate truffles for sinning with. During this momentous evening, I will be creating art. I am working on a couple of figurative art dolls, illustrating a story about a traveling striped chair (ala, the gypsy gnome), making soup, doing a bit of mending and meditatively attuning to all our positive visioning. I have been imagining this for what seems like lifetimes. Oh wait, in my case it has been lifetimes. (heh heh, just a little reincarnational humor) I confess to occasional seconds of the already mentioned “daymare” scenario, yet breathe through them. My human family, the whole world is perched with bated breath and chewed nails, pacing like a maternity room new father. Wow! Today feels like the first day of menstruation, getting my driver’s license, graduation, turning 21and every other milestone marker on the journey. Damn, I am glad to be alive!!

As I hit “submit,” I heard my grandmother’s voice saying, “Good things come to those who wait.” I believe our waiting is over.

I’m in Vegas at a convention, so whatever sportsbook/bar I can find with a TV on the results.

Currently eating Halloween candy and watching the returns on MSNBC with my son while he puts his red state/blue state puzzle together as the calls are made!! Spent most of today at Election Plaza in Rockefeller Plaza and in Times Square at the CNN set after voting — NYC is the most exciting place in the world today!! Go Obama!!

I’m at home alone. My son and I just got back from voting……….I stopped off at the Chinese resturant for some Chinese Chicken Salad to go………..He had to get back to his place, his wife is recuperating from Surgery.. I getting ready to open a Coke Put my salad in a Pretty bowl and start watching the News, I’ll channel surf. I was disappointed to hear that only 120 people had voted so far today in my neighborhood………..although most people around here do work. I hope they flood in and vote after work. I have been so nervous all day……… I hope I’m a Happy Democrat by the end of the night

No, I can’t see the Democrats rioting either. I think we’ll celebrate how well we’ve done whether we win or lose.
