I'm sure Lake Louise is pretty and all but unfortunately we got there in the afternoon when the sun made it hard for you to appreciate its beauty since it was shining straight into your eyes if you were looking towards the lake.

In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.
