This is not a political blog, but ...

I feel more optimistic this morning than I have in eight years.

It's time to pull up our socks and get to work.

Today, I feel anything is possible.

I'll admit I dozed off before the election results were assured. A combination of chronic nighttime insomnia, a vigorous afternoon bike ride and a long wait at the boys' Tae Kwon Do class made it impossible for me to stay awake.
