A Weight Has Been Lifted

I’m trying to avoid political topics, so just a word about the Presidential election. It feels as if a weight has been lifted from our shoulders with the departure of George Bush. Here in the Huntersville section of Yorktown we celebrated with a great neighborhood party at Ron and Olivia Buehl's. Their beautiful home was decked out in American flags. Obama managed to eek out a majority in Yorktown; he did better in Huntersville. We all held our breath until election night. Everyone was in a celebratory mood at the Buehls. For one evening, at least, the world seemed a little softer… and better.
