CHANGE!
What an amazing time this is to be living in! – as I reflect on Obama’s message throughout his remarkable journey to become our 44th President, a phrase from his speech yesterday comes to mind: “We choose hope over fear.” What a simple yet profound choice of words…
One of the many reasons I like Barack Obama is the message he preaches does not stop with our government. He takes life lessons, drawing from the cannon of his experiences, and translates these teachings into his politics. In this way, he is connecting to us on a more basic, human level. I believe Barack chooses hope over fear, and I would hope that as human beings, we have the strength to embrace this message wholeheartedly. I don’t doubt for a second that we have elected a great leader; and it is my hope that we continue to choose hope over fear not only in our politics, but also in our lives – THAT, my friends, is keeping it real!

Hey Rick,
This new site is nice and breezy and the format lends itself to politics, sports and a few other topics.
Back here on the homefront the big news remains the economy, and how/if any government programs can revive it.
We’re still able to muster up a few bucks for a little cinema escape and so far can recommend a couple of the heavily nominated movies — Slum dog Millionaire and Doubt. I’ll try to avoid shoptalk but check out the local press on how many people showed up to be extras in the George Clooney movie to be filmed here, all for $56 a day.
I’m looking forward to reading other posts here!
