The time is flying by too quickly; I apologize for such a long lag between postings. Some of the big news from us is that we had the privilege to be present for Barak Obama's acceptance speech for his party's nomination. We were seated behind the stage, and as such had a great view of Obama's back, but we could see his front well on the two jumbo-trons. It was no less than electrifying and motivating. Obama doesn't support gay marriage (strange, given his very supportive voting record), but does support equal rights. We'll deal with the 'separate-but-equal' issue later; in the meantime, I would be thrilled to have a president who isn't afraid to bring up the issue, as he has done frequently. My favorite is in the context of an illustration of what "Christian values" means to him (i.e. being loving and accepting). GObama!
Check back later for photos (and maybe even video) of the event from our vantage point.
