• I am hitting the road for four days, so will not be around to comment or blog. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

  I do want to comment on one thing. I was channel surfing two nights ago and came upon the Democratic National Convention, which seemed to be the best thing on. I am not terribly political. On the other hand, I do have opinions about politics and occasionally I blog about them. While I was watching the Convention, I heard the keynote speech by Barack Obama, a candidate for a US Senate seat from Illinois. He certainly is a very impressive young man. As I was watching him, it occured to me that he appeared to be an excellent choice as a future presidential candidate. I think the US is about ready to elect an non-white president and this man would seem to be a very credible candidate once he has had a little experience on the national level.

  I couldn’t help but think that it would have some kind of cosmic significance if the first black president came from the same state as the president who freed the slaves and set in motion the process that would eventually make that possible. It gave me the chills just thinking about it.
