Trip report

Generally I don’t write about politics. If I did, tonight’s report would be about the Democratic Convention this week and Barack Obama tonight. I would gush about a defining moment in our nation’s history. A turning point. A campaign of hope and vision; intellect and empathy.

We watched the acceptance speech. We applauded. We were moved. We watched the commentary. It got late. We stayed up and watched the speech again when they reran it. We didn’t want to let the moment go.

We don’t want to impose our political interests on you so I won’t go on and on. We’ll just make a contribution to the Obama campaign instead.
