Did I vote? Yes, right after work. I can't brag too much. There was one couple ahead of me, so my trip to the polling place took a little over five minutes.
Thus far the news looks pretty good. Yeah, I'm still using qualifiers. If there's some wacky turnaround between now and the time I pour coffee down my gullet, I'll be disappointed, but not that surprised.
So fingers crossed. If the news stays good, it's only a shame Mrs Dunham wasn't able to see it.

We got to see the fat lady sing at Grant Park. It was beautiful.
if i cried, it was in part on the behalf of the many who've lived their whole lives hoping & dreaming, but never really allowing themselves to truly believe, that this could happen...
& it was also in part because of this - because i know the monster, once unleashed, may sometimes sleep (leaving us to pick our way thru the devastation it's wrought - much of it irreversible), but never really dies... & i know that there will always be those among us who hunger for it's re-awakening...
i'm very surprised by just how powerfully what occurred last night effected me, emotionally - melancholy on steroids :) ...
wait, was i dreaming? i still can't quite believe it.
Oh believe me, I've had similar thoughts to both you and Krugman regarding the "monster years" amd what hopefully seems to be their end. Haven't put all these thoughts together yet, but I should soon. Things feel lighter, don't they?
