Pleasing moments in American politics

My current day-to-day life takes the form of muted worry: I attend to simple day-to-day tasks and relocation steps while hoping that all manner of moving pieces land squarely. Yesterday evening, it made for a nice change to find myself both smiling and laughing. I watched the speeches from Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and, while I doubt that they will face anything but intransigent hypocrisy from a Republican Senate, I smiled to see the winning team happy and speaking against anger and division. Perhaps a little divisively, I also found myself laughing at the losing team making their press conference, in the car lot of a landscaping business, a paradigm of incompetence.

The whole Biden/Harris thing last night was so full of joy! Pat and I both cried. It was beautiful, and I will never forget.

I was alive in JFK was elected. Biden is the SECOND Catholic president in the history of the USA.

I am so ecstatic over what has happened!
