Wow, I didn’t realize how tense my whole body was awaiting this election but I can tell you the minute CNN announced Obama had won, I felt my entire body loosen up and a big roaring yeeha came spilling out. We went to Kermit Ruffin’s Treme Speakeasy to celebrate and it was a packed house so we walked down to Bertha’s with our little group and were there when it was announced.
I have said Thank Jesus, Thank God countless times since last night, I have put my hands together and up towards the sky, I have never felt so happy to see a president get elected, re-elected and I wonder how we are going to remedy the fact that half this country has entirely different values than the other half. How are we going to do that?
In the meantime, a deep breath, a good time, and onward we go.
