didn't see it coming...

I was sitting right here at my computer... typing away.

I was writing the post for today (a different post than this one) and in the background I had the TV on waiting to hear the last two primary returns for the Democratic Presidential candidate when a voice interrupted the droning on of Senator McCain to say that Barack Obama was the presumptive candidate.

I picked up my phone and called Mr. Kaos to tell him... he was at his office finishing up some work... I wanted him to know...  I wanted to be the one to tell him.

It wasn't a surprise.  I had just said to him Obama only needed 9 delegates to clinch the nomination.

We both knew it was coming.

But I cried.

Why did I cry?  I was proud.  I was breathing a sigh of relief.

I knew he would make it, we saw that coming... I didn't realize I would have such an emotional reaction to it though.

I cried because I was thinking, hoping...  Yes we can.
