It's a weird and happy feeling to be with the majority, for once.
This really touched my heart:
NAIROBI, Kenya---- For many across Africa and the world, Barack Obama's election seals America's reputation as a land of staggering opportunity.
''If it were possible for me to get to the United States on my bicycle, I would,'' said Joseph Ochieng, a 36-year-old carpenter who lives in Kenya's sprawling Kibera shantytown, a maze of tin-roofed shacks and dirt roads.
Since 1985 I have supported my writing habit with my day job of helping people find and renovate the perfect home or apartment, in San Francisco and currently in my hometown- New York City. I've worked as a dog-walker, artist's model and biochemist but prefer writing fiction above all. My published novel is "The Girl Pretending to Read Rilke" and I'm completing "Sex and Sinclair Lewis: Tales of a Greenwich Village Girlhood". Chapters of this memoir are appearing monthly in WestView (the new voice of the West Village) and can be read online (at
www.westviewnews.org)
I love to hear from my readers!

Can you tell me what's the reason behind your post. I can't get it. What kind of joy that you want to share with us.
Dear Roof Coatings:
I was overjoyed by Obama's victory.
