John's summary of our new Atlanta apartment: "As the trees blow their majestic leaves into the auburn sky, one wonders where home may actually be. Although the wind scattered the leaves afar, one drifted to land in front of an apartment at the Vining Mountain and we knew then we could make our home here." :) My summary: I cannot wait for a dishwasher. Welcome to Atlanta.
I spent this historic election night in midtown Atlanta, surrounded by fanatic Democrats. I was invited to Manuel's to watch the results come in, an old democratic hangout. It was hard to believe in the midst of so many die-hard liberals that Georgia swung Republican. It felt so American to be celebrating the elections (so different than the last elections, which I spent in Europe, where Americans hid their faces after Bush was re-elected) ... and this morning, when I woke up to the news that Obama had won, I was proud to be American. Here's hoping Obama fulfills his promises and leads America down a positive path...
