Highlights from the day:
1. Someone set off fireworks in our neighborhood last night shortly after CNN announced Obama's victory. I could see the sparkles through the trees in the dark, and it felt like seeing a hopeful future.
2. Our friend from New York City's Harlem neighborhood sent this description at 11pm:
"I can hear the celebrating outside now. People are yelling from their
windows: "We did it"!! "Obama, Obama, Obama!!" Joy, joy, joy!!! This is amazing!!"
3. Thank you, President Obama, for your shout-out to the queers in your victory speech. Yes, we can!!
4. Despite all the joy, the California vote to overturn gay marriage is depressing.
