    What a great moment

    To come out of a riveting election, wide awake, and watch Obama steadily assemble a strong team - competent, serious, and (in Hillary's case, and perhaps Powell-for-Education) inspired. We elected a transforming adult, and we're suddenly humans again.

    It's sooo nice to be able to look ahead, even past bad dreams sure to come. There's a will AND a way. Who knew?

    Gobble gobble.
