Today I saw a huge billboard on wheels and wondered if it was a green truck driving it around? Then I saw it pull into the Exxon to increase their profits even more...

I saw people bringing their children with them to vote as a family. I thought that was pretty cool, and I have fuzzy memories of my parents doing the same with me when I was a small child.

I am feeling contemplative at this point wondering what will happen to us all now? Will we be able to heal the divisiveness that has plagued this country this election season? We have to. It's time. I have to say today I have been thinking a lot about when I met Michelle Obama in March. And I keep thinking is it truly possible that I really got to meet the future First Lady? And you know what? That is pretty darn amazing to contemplate.

Right now I am watching the returns start to come in, and it's not looking good for McCain. I just hope the backlash doesn't hurt a Congressman who has served us well.

This has been an election season of amazing negativity, and in some cases I have often wondered if candidates were running their campaigns, or campaigns were running the candidates? It matters.

They are saying that PA is now Obama's. Ok, I am going to watch the returns now...history is being made.
