So you all know it's voting day in America - amazing how the whole world follows their elections and awaits the outcome. As a one-time New Yorker and as a New School alumni, my vote would naturally go for Obama, and I think he is going to take it again this year.
I was still living in NY during the last national election. We celebrated the end of the Bush era in Union Square and felt as patriotic as a non-citizen can feel about another country. It was one big celebration.
Of course the context is quite different this time around. Somewhat more somber. And since I can't be there to cheer from the sidelines, all I can say this time around is, "May the best man win!"
PS. Happy birthday papa
PPS. Four sleeps to Cheska's wedding!!!
