So after dinner at West Branch with several colleagues and industry acquaintances and a visit to the Huffington Post election party, a 40 block walk home ensued. Yes, 40 blocks. Hey, it was a nice night for a walk. On the way home, a large crowd of people had congregated in Union Square as if Obama himself was about to show up. Of course, he didn’t but that didn’t stop the hundreds (thousands?) from celebrating. No matter one’s political leanings, the engagement of so many in this election process and win is impressive.

Photographic goodness here.
