November 4th dawned bright and sunny, much like the future of our country. The Fall colors were still spectacular on our block and all around Oak Park. Lori voted at 6:00 a.m. I voted at about 10:00 a.m. IIT shut down at 3:00 p.m., due to the big Obama Grant Park to-do (Mayor Daley asked us to close the school early), so I got home at 4:00. Lori got home a little later, and talked with Neely for awhile on the phone about the election.
Marlis and Glenn joined us for a light supper of subs and veggies and then it was on to watching the election returns. Sometimes the news channels didn't update fast enough for Lori, so she was online a fair amount of time, getting her info on.
Lastly, here's a shot of today's Chicago Tribune front page. The Trib actually endorsed Obama this time--the first time they have ever endorsed a Democrat for President.
I was at this event, but nobody took any pictures of me.
