Obama Elected! I'm so used to waking up from election eves to utter dissapointment, it's an unusal, even caustious feeling I have. Stem cell research, a belief in global warming, some possible curtailment to wars, inclusion, global community, they seem within grasp.
The first snow flurries today, some vast, plentiful, as I entered Hy-Vee super market; winter's here. My tender plants have been brought indoors, squished in the few bright windows available...orchids and epiphyllums from Matt, others, geraniums, I hope they find some comfort and prosper.
Work as always, weary just now from a string of openings, up at 4:30am to awaken, have coffe, get to work by 6:30am.
Kids afar, Lauren and her family are just back from Orlando DisneyWorld, a sort of annual Rosenbaum Family reunion; Matt, built a new elegant greenhouse for his orchids, his enthusiasm so pleasant when he talks about his plants, their color and fragrance; that's good for me to hear. All of them voted for Obama, Lauren for sure, but my feeling that for Matthew it was "iffy" but he did it and did it for the right reasons.
Last month a trip to Chicago, the Art Institute, the "Bean" at Millenium Park, Frank Gerhy Pavilion, too, with Jim, the roommate, a very nice trip via Amtrak from Galesburg to Chicago, roundtrip.
