history!

As you may have noticed Barack Obama was elected last night. Marissa and I watched the results on TV. Well, the TV was on while we were both on the computer and towards the end saw most of it. I don't really care for politics but last night was just exciting. I remember in the 2000 election being in the common room of our college dorm watching results and I've been kind of hooked ever since. Admittedly, it's a lot more fun if your candidate is winning. As many have noticed by now, this was a historic moment and I'm glad I witnessed it. We stayed up to see McCain's concession speech and honestly if he had spoken like that the whole time I might have been swayed by him. Any who, we have a Democratic President and congress and senate so finally things might improve around here. Considering Republicans have had their run for a while and all we have to show for it is a crappy economy and high gas prices....thanks a lot the so-called party of friends of big business.

To celebrate the Obama victory, work took us all out to lunch today at a Japanese teppan restaurant and it was pretty darn good. I have to say, I can get used to all these lunches we're getting at work. I definitely am part of a good thing here and I'm happy about it.
