Obama in '08 - Yes we can

It's 12:30am on 5 Nov, 2008; I'm gazing up at a stained glass ceiling and admiring the view.

I just went out on my porch and, coming in again, it occurred to me that the first time my front door was used, the civil war was barely over, women weren't allowed to vote, and the thought of a black man in any kind of office was laughable. Such an odd thing - my hand felt strange against the doorknob.

It's the dawn of a very good day.
