Slightly late news: NC goes blue

Glad to see stubbysfears get his wish! Thanks, North Carolina!

Barack did amazingly well, overall. I quote from the Daily Telegraph website:

"
The first black president-elect won with 63.25 million votes, more than the total of any other presidential candidate in history.

He also netted a higher percentage of the overall vote than any Democrat since Lyndon Johnson in 1964."

Percentage-wise, Obama beat McCain 53 to 47.

We return to Christmas-blogging-preparation, in progress.

Thanks, Lee.

Never a doubt in my mind. Pay no attention to the sweaty palms.

Good to be officially part of the NEW south.

Christmas blogging preparations? Uh-oh...

Steven,

That's what I've heard! Imagine.

Who thought it would happen this soon? (But who's complaining?)

Ernie,

Um... um...

Er... I meant to type "Christmas nogging preparations." Gotta get that egg-nog ready early. Um, I think.

I like Nogg. & Xmas blogg. Yay! I am SO in the mood to go out & buy a gazillion presents & greens & tree decorations & a ton of xmas music & dvds. Instead, we are bracing ourselves to pay for the repair/replacement of a guitar broken by accident. Ah well, the best gift, after all, is time w/ the one/s you love.
