I wasn’t going to update about this, because everybody has been, and I don’t have anything more or different to say about it. But sometimes I go back and read old entries of this blog to see what I was thinking about “at this time last year.”

So, here we go. Last night our holding company threw a party that we planned (for just us and 2 sister agencies). At one point, I was outside the venue and heard a shrill noise that sounded like a cross between a siren and someone sawing through iron. I realized that it was coming from inside. I ran in, and it was like an explosion. Screaming, arms in the air, jumping up and down, strangers hugging each other.

It was moving, literally and emotionally. All parts of it. The people there, the concession speech, the acceptance speech, the energy. I voted absentee for Florida, and was surprised to see it blue at the end (maybe I did help). Virginia also! What a change, right?
