Greatest thrill of my life
and I ran it by my wife first so she said I could post it :)

I was in Houston when my White Sox won the World Series, I was in attendance for 4 of the University of Miami's 5 national titles, but the feeling and emotion at Grant Park when they announced Virginia and then when the clock on CNN on the giant screen started counting down and to the closing of the polls in California and when everyone started counting 5..4...3..2...1 and then they flashed Barack Obama Elected President of the United States on the screen (I'm crying typing this by the way) and the explosion of the crowd, the tears flowing from everyone, people hugging their loved ones, strangers, etc. was the greatest thrill I have experienced in my life.
