I have bragging rights!

Congrats to your brother!

c.i.- Fantastic- Give him my congratulations!

Hearty congratulation to your brother and your entire family.

ci: I am so very pleased to hear this! Nice margin for the victory as well. Also good to hear of pleasant news for a change.

YAY! Release the balloons! :-D

Great idea jespah, balloons and confetti all over the place.

I'm not a political animal myself to the extent I want to involve myself in the political arena, but am open to discussions on politics. My political and religious beliefs differ from all my siblings, but I've always been the "black sheep" in our family. The important thing is that we can all put our differences aside, and still come together as a family.

If your brother is as level headed and intelligent as yourself, CI, it ia a plus for California.

edgarblythe, Thanks for the compliment. As a matter of fact, all my siblings are coming over this morning to share in our quarterly Sunday Brunch which we started after nine-eleven. Then, I'm off to South America early tomorrow morning to catch the ship, Zenith, at Valparaiso, Chile, for a twelve night cruise to Buenos Aires (solo). BTW, my post says it's past two PM, but actually it's still a little after nine AM here in California. c.i.

I just threw three bags of confetti in the air -- now I have to vacuum it all up!

Lightwizard, I'll help you when I get back on November 25. c.i.
