I can't believe how much expectation Obama is going to enter the White House with, but somehow I just kind of trust him. It was crazy in NY last night. People at work this morning told stories of screaming and horns and celebrations until 3 in the morning. Men wept openly in the restaurant where Lisa worked. VIRGINIA WENT BLUE! People are smiling in the streets today.
I really wish Hunter Thompson was alive to see this. I have no idea who he really was, but I can say that he would have been moved by yesterday's election. I think when he left us he had lost all sense of that hope that we clung to yesterday when we cast our votes. But he went too soon cause I believe he could have felt it too. Somewhere along his spine maybe... or hell, even his heart. I'll take a drink to that.
We miss you.
