grant park celebration

i'm excited to watch as nyla has role models in sasha and malia in the white house
we are ready for and welocme a president for ALL americans.

do you remember what the chicago police were doing 40 years ago?

i hope that this photo will help change the image that too many people seem to have of young, black men in this country.

there are 118 photos here that tell a wonderful story. if you don't tear up at least a bit, call your cardiologist.

read the full text of obama's brilliant speech last night here.

what an amazingly eloquent, intelligent future lies ahead for all of us.

as michelle obama said a few months ago [and for which she was mercilessly and wrongly excoriated], for the first time in my life, i really DO feel proud of my country, and i am so very happy that it might just be possible to leave the world a better place than we found it.

. . . . .

go ride your bike,

breathe deep the fresh air;

let go your worries, replenish your soul,

for your future you must prepare.

. . . . .

whew...jebus. i really was quite afraid it wouldn't happen. let the reunification begin, okay, my right-wing friends? let's ride bikes.

gravel rides tuesday nights, the bridge in water works park at 530 pm?

renegade cyclocross saturday, 900 am at witmer park.

probably won't drink afterwards.
