Homecoming

Did anyone make it to homecoming this year? I got the "highlights" email from the alumni association and started wondering if any of you made it back to our soul mother?

Yes We Can

It's a good day. A very good day. We still face lots of enormous challenges as a country (the current recession, the enormous economic divide that preceded the recession, the need for all Americans to have access to health care, the energy crisis and the corresponding ecological crisis) BUT I feel today that the country is ready to face those challenges, to put aside the dog and pony show of the culture wars and work on the needs of the people-- a government FOR THE PEOPLE! What a radical idea.

I'm pretty spent-- physically, emotionally, mentally-- but I wanted to write something today, on this good day, this good day when we, as a country, decided to look towards the future.
