There are many reasons to feel like this today, not the least of which is the Democratic sweep of the House and most likely the Senate. And the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld and hopefully a better handle on the situation in Iraq. And that we have the first ever female Speaker of the House. Our future is looking brighter than ever.

And on a more personal note, well – ask Marnie.

    Congrats! I left a comment with Marnie, too, but I wanted to invite you to my house for a spin/knit-in that we’re having in honor of Marnie’s (sadly brief) return to LA on Saturday the 9th if you’re still in town. We usually start around 2:00 p.m. and go long into the night (midnight, even – scary, huh?). It’s a good time.

    Your book absolutely slayed me. A non-knitting friend brought it over, and we sat together and guffawed. It’s on my wish list, though if I have a chance to see you I will run out and buy it before Christmas so that you can sign a copy.

    Break a leg at Knitty Gritty.

    So cool! Make sure to post when you know what day it’s on….

    Now I’m especially glad I met you at Stitches. I love to hobnob with the famous.

    I am doing the Homer dance as we speak, for all those reasons. I think we’ll make a dynamic duo, minus the spandex and masks, of course.

    Oh and Julia throws a grand get-together. I hope you can pencil us in.

    OHMYGODTHAT’SSOGREAT!

    How very exciting! Will it come out on DVD? Will it be available on Netflix? ‘Cause I don’t know if we mentioned, but that’s about the only way we ever see anything on TV, and I’d really like to watch it.

    You have no idea what high hopes the Democtrats’ win raises in the rest of the world!

    What’s wrong with spandex and masks? In fact, you’d probably get the HIGHEST RATED KNITTY GRITTY EVA if you both wore spandex and masks…

    Beer Can Masks, maybe?

    Man, curse my tv-less ways! I need to find someone to tape that. I don’t imagine I’ll want to wait for the DVD.

    NH elected our first congress woman, how cool is that? I spent Tuesday night watching my one tv station for that news :)

    I’m not sure if you’re really busy, or your spam filter doesn’t like me, but I sent you a photo of a funny sweater. Did you get it? (E-mail me when you have time… I’m pretty sure you’ll get this, so I’ll stop pestering you now. 😉 )

    Congratulations! Perspective will come when you have too much time to enjoy it. It is the human condition.
