Last night was thrilling. The only thing I can relate it to is that same feeling I had as a nine year old boy watching Neil Armstrong step foot on the moon.
But I'm also cautioned. I remember thinking, "this is only the beginning" way back in 1969, but frankly, it was only a brief peak, all to short.
As I drove out of my neighborhood early this morning a blue pickup was just ahead of me. I had to brake as the truck briefly swerved and the driver thrust his arm out the window and flipped off as he passed a house with Obama for President signs. It took the edge off my euphoria.
We have a long way to go.
