Where were you? I was arriving home from my writing class to find my husband at the kitchen table, watching McCain’s concession speech on MSNBC Live. I was shocked that the results were declared so early. I interrupted a writing session to watch Obama’s first speech as president-elect. Because it will be history. Except I can’t help thinking that they’ve called it with too few votes actually counted. So tonight I will let out this breath I’ve been holding for months, and tomorrow I will breathe normally.

Where were you?

EDIT [05/11/08]: In light of my recent plagiarism troubles, I would like to point out that the link at the beginning of this post will direct you to Bradgarten. The title and original concept are his, and I use them in the spirit of fun and fair use. I was hoping people would carry the idea to their own blog. I may not have been clear on that.
