more good news. I took my sister-in-law in for a hearing on an order for protection against her abusive husband. Sleepy eyes, but an excellent result. He can have no contact with her and the divorce proceedings have been filed. My wife and I have been working with her for years trying to build her courage up to do this, and she has finally done it. So, good news all around. President Obama gets another term, Minnesota regained control by Democrats over both its legislative houses, and my wife's sister is finally free from her abusive husband.

I'm very tired, but very happy all around
