President-Elect Obama (Did I just write that?)

Dearest A,

Democracy rocks even harder when your guy wins the presidency.

We poured into the streets of D.C. last night after the networks called the election for Obama. We danced in the intersection of 14th and U Streets. We marched down 16th Street to the White House. We sang the "Star Spangled Banner." We chanted and cheered and high-fived passersby.

The city yelped with joy until the wee hours of the morning.

I feel blessed to be alive at this moment.

Love,
Sammy

Election Day!

Dearest A,

I voted a week ago, but it warms my cynical little heart to see so many people standing in line to cast their ballots on election day. Democracy rocks.

Love,
Sammy
