Obama Wins!

Even better about the Obama win is that he carried Arapahoe county, which hasn't gone blue since 1964 and is where I spent Monday and Tuesday canvassing. Granted, lots of others did far more than me - but I feel honored to have been able to help. I know of at least three voters ballots that wouldn't have been cast if it hadn't been for me knocking on their door and watching them fill out their mail-in ballot so that I could deliver it to the country clerk. This makes me feel like I got to vote for Obama four times.

R and I found out the news via the twittersphere by about 11pm (though, I called it as soon as ABC projected Ohio.) After a celebratory drink at the restaurant where we were eating, we made our way back to the hotel bar and found a less enthusiastic crowd to drink amongst before heading up to our room and watching the joy unfold the rest of the night.

R is training in Denver all week, so this morning I drove back up to Estes Park and hiked up the side of a mountain to look at Mills Lake.

You can see the Flickr photo set of the hike, but any pictures of yours truly are reserved for flickr contacts, so log into Flickr before looking!
