Two minutes in Bridgeport was more than enough and not recommended.

E., S. and I motivated and organized ourselves out to the CT yesterday. I was actually kind of amazed that we got ourselves out there. We rented a car at the airport and drove up there. No directional issues until we got to Bridgeport. For some reason, we couldn't seem to get ourselves out of that town. I stopped into a gas station to ask for directions and walked out smelling like a combination of gasoline, exhaust fumes, cigarettes and curry. Two minutes in a gas station, crazy. Anyway, we made it and that is what is important.




Watching history being made...I will no longer need to be 'from Canada' when I travel.

I was excited Tuesday night. I watched election coverage all evening and even when all of the networks and newspapers started announcing Obama as the winner, I still thought there was going to be some crazy event like recounting votes or some other rediculous stunt to delay the results. It wasn't until McCain gave his 'defeat' speech that I was really confident that Obama was indeed the president elect. The insane thing is that I don't think I'm all that crazy for thinking 'it can all be taken away' until it all seemed too confirmed to be taken away. So it is... I also feel pretty good about not having to explain 'my country' to foreign friends. I am saying this from experience from the last election.
