Our expected snow hasn't hit yet so I made a quick run to the library to return books - and walked into a Great Room as hushed and hopeful as a crowded cathedral. There was one voice loudly talking...

...they'd set up a TV next to the checkout desk and a crowd of people were quietly gathered there, motionless, listening to President Obama's speech. Even those who seemed skeptical had a look of unwilling hope on their faces.

I voted for the man. I know a few of my friends did not. But I really, really appreciated that our president was talking and no one was walking away in derision or disgust - given our national situation, it gives me a good feeling for our future.
