The morning after the night before and suddenly everything is a little nicer. Our drive today took us through West Virginia and the newly democratic state of Virginia to North Carolina. The scenery was stunning as we ventured through, round and over mountains galore.Of course the world and the eastern side of the USA looked a lot nicer for another reason. With President Elect Barack Obama firmly waiting in the wings America has a new look to it. It goes without saying that last night was sensational, historic and a load of other equally euphoric words. It represented something quite amazing for the future of this planet as America proved itself capable of grasping an opportunity for change with both hands. Forgive me if I appear condescending toward Uncle Sam but I think a lot of people thought that the usually conservative leaning America might let this one pass and take the safe option. Thankfully for all of us they haven't and now all the negative ads and tactics and all the name calling means nothing. Now the road is clear and the opportunity to make something quite special happen is there. Lets wait and see eh?
As for our little theatre tour, as I said today was spent mostly in a van but we did cross a few state lines. Virginia's state line came to us with a promise of a warm welcome with milk and cookies. Alas the half open centre could barely manage working toilets
The next 2 days bring 5 shows, 300 miles and probably some very grumpy actors. But right now none of that matters. Tonight the world is a better place
Yes We Can
