I got my number one wish.

I'm thankful for the things that go right. And I try to make that my focus. For instance, I'm thrilled that Barack Obama is our president-elect. But I didn't get everything I wanted. For instance, in my rather conservative congressional district in Minnesota, the incumbent, Republican Michelle Bachmann won by a narrow margin. She's sort of a female version of George Bush. Not good. Can't have everything. But hey, I still got my number one wish. --Jim Broede
