Election Day
I voted. Barack Obama all the way.
I don't think I've ever known a candidate before an election as well as I know Barack Obama. I didn't vote in the primaries, and I've only come to know him from his books, debates, and media appearances. But if I look at that sum of information, there remains no clearer choice for president of our country.
His passion, intelligence, and character remind me of the person I want to be. They remind me of my father. They remind me of what we should all aspire for in this life. We should all have the compassion to give as much to our fellow men as we give to ourselves. We should all have the wisdom of seeing the world through un-American eyes. And we should all have the courage and grace to stand up to violence with calm discourse in preference over impulsive aggression.
As a hope for my son and our country, I pray that Barack Obama becomes President of the United States of America.

A poem from my favorite poet...
Faces
by Sara Teasdale
People that I meet and pass
In the city's broken roar,
Faces that I lose so soon
And have never found before,
Do you know how much you tell
In the meeting of our eyes,
How ashamed I am, and sad
To have pierced your poor disguise?
Secrets rushing without sound
Crying from your hiding places--
Let me go, I cannot bear
The sorrow of the passing faces.
--People in the restless street,
Can it be, oh can it be
In the meeting of our eyes
That you know as much of me?

Catching my breath
So I finally have some time to write a proper blog entry after being really busy at work for the past two weeks. I'll just give a report on how things are going.
The kid: He's growing up. Getting more dexterous. He's got a ways to go though before we can start playing games. Oh well. I guess playing with mushy plastic toys can be fun.
The game: Another session tonight of Pathfinder. I AM SO PUMPED UP I MIGHT EXPLODE!!! Yeah, you read that right, three (count 'em... 3) exclamation points on that one.
Doing some surfing on YouTube at work today. Gonna find me some scenes from fantasy movies. Awesome.
