Disappointing Loss

As the election results were counted, we were disappointed to see that Tom lost the run for judge by a narrow margin. We were ahead for part of the vote-counting, and it was reported in a few papers that it was too close to call, but he was ahead. He got a lot of congratulations from people who were embarassed to find out he really lost. He even got a letter from one of our state elected officials congratulating him on his new job.
It is truly disappointing to put your heart into something and not get it, but we are happy he has a job he loves to continue onward with.
