[Oe List ...] A word to add to George's collegium

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Thank you to everyone who helped bring about this new day. Taking part in Indiana's turning Blue is frosting on the cake for us. I must say I thought McCain's speech last night was stellar--not as thrilling as Obama's, but really fine.

Special thanks to colleagues from around the world who have posted notes this morning. We are humbled and grateful. Most mornings I walk with a woman from South Africa (she's been here about 15 years) in our neighborhood. This morning she came to her door and greeted me with, "You did it"!!!! It was an energizing way to start the day

Monday night I found myself trying to put together "I can see a new day" in my memory. It suddenly became a mantra in my head. I haven't sorted out many of the words yet, but the song is surely in my being.

Grace and Peace, (what a profound secular greeting--or closing, as the case may be)

Doris Hahn
