Face it dad, I'm a first grader now (and more)

I home from his first day of full-day school!

E praying or sleeping? You decide.

GOP Convention. Is that Abe Lincoln on the left?

Yes We Can

The boy and I went to see Barack Obama at a rally in Wilmington, DE yesterday. There were 20,000 people there. Very impressive. Senator Obama was impressive as well. The boy asked lots of appropriate questions like, "why does he keep talking about change?" and "why is everyone clapping?" 

And as further testament to Obama fever, the following video is making waves. You're probably only going to be inspired by this stuff if you're an Obama supporter. I like the guy, so I find it moving. Check it out. 

I like Will.i.am's description of the creation of the song and the video. 48 hours start to finish. Very impressive!

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Faraway, So Close is officially endorsing the candidacy of Barack Obama for President of the United States in 2008. There may not be much distance between Obama and Clinton in terms of policy, but I believe he'll be able to get more done. Both are solid on the "what" but Obama has won me over on the "how." Besides, do we need another chapter in the Bush-Clinton-Bush rotation? End the cycle!
