DNC Coverage: Thank You Denver!

As the Denver stars sparkle in the Denver sky, I pass the Majestic Pepsi Cola Center Sculpture, and guess what? It lights up with little tiny lights, echoing the beautiful stars in the heavens above. Again, this photo does not do it justice—you had to be here.

On my way back to the hotel, look who I saw on the street:

 Eddie

Hollywood's Eddie Murphy! How about that? Only in Denver!

Well, this has indeed been a historic convention, or "Con" as I've taken to nicknaming it. St. Paul has tough shoes to fill with the Republicans next week. I'll be on my way come morning, but I'm certain nothing could ever live up to this week in Denver.

Thank you, Denver—I'll carry you with me in my heart!

Kelly signing off.
