Obama!

I don't know what to say. It has been an incredible night. I laughed, I cried, I got goosebumps. There were so many great lines from the speech that I lost count and lost track of them all. While I collect my thoughts, you can read the transcript, and/or watch the video. The optics and rhetoric were amazing.

Today was a great day in our nation's history.

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT) and a (possibly autistic) cat named Greta. Our daughter, Emmie, lives nearby, so she pops by regularly to amuse us and/or stir the pot.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, food I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read -- with a bit of politics thrown into the mix. I'm a slow food-loving locavore; I enjoy running, biking and hiking; make my own soap, moisturizers and household cleansers; and enjoy sewing, crocheting and playing with textiles).
