I stayed up last night until after Obama gave his speech.  I thought it was extremely well said &#8212; spurring the nation on to the work that must be done over the next several years.  McCain&#8217;s concession speech was also very well done &#8212; I think if the tone and sentiments of that speech had been the same throughout his campaign there might have been a different result last night.  But I&#8217;m happy with the results we got.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, I haven&#8217;t done a knitting post in ages and ages.  I&#8217;ve got about four projects just sitting in their corners waving their needles and whining piteously when I walk by.  I really got to get some time to sit and knit.  But since I haven&#8217;t I&#8217;ve been feeling a bit at loose ends.  My wonderful husband reads online comics and this evening had me read <a href=\"http:\/\/questionablecontent.net\/view.php?comic=1267\" target=\"blank\">Questionable Content<\/a>, it was a knitting related comic today.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to imagine a nine-dimensional hypercardigan &#8212; hmmm.  If one of those dimensions is time does that mean you could wear it from the moment you cast on or from the moment you think of casting on instead of waiting until it&#8217;s finished.  It made me giggle anyway so thought I&#8217;d share.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also coming down with something.  I haven&#8217;t got it but I&#8217;m on the edge of getting it &#8212; cold or flu or something.  I&#8217;ve got this wimpy cough &#8212; sort of a cross between a polite throat cleaing and a hack.  It sounds so fake it bugs me but I can&#8217;t help doing it.  Got a big jug of orange juice and some tea with echinacea.  I&#8217;m hoping to get over this whatever sooner rather than after it gets worse.  This will teach me to skip getting my flu shot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it&#8217;s been a wonderful day for me.
