Yipeee!!! I can Fly the Flag again!
For many years, an American flag was our upstairs bedroom window.
After the Iraq invasion, I took it down.
Now I can put it up again.
(Assuming I can find it, that is)
Went to my daughter's house last night and we made hamburgers and drank Coke in honor of the election.
When I got home about 11, turned on the TV and sat down armed with a bag of candy corn, a package of Cheetos, and a fifth of bourbon. Can't get more American than that.
Realized after an hour and a half that results were not going to come instantly, and I do have teaching and a performance at the opera today, so I went to bed. Set the alarm to 6:30, heard the news and said: "Yipee!!" in my best American accent.
:-)
I too am proud of my government for the first time in a long time.
You should have come to the Democrats Abroad election night party at the Café Central. We had a great time.
