Quiet Elation

We have a Black President! This is what I want to scream in line at
the grocery store. But I don't. Instead I field all the smiles and
greetings from people who three days earlier would avoid eye contact
with me or put hands on their purse when I walked past.

Social Networking Apps

Since I've gone on Facebook, I have communicated with people I haven't spoken with in 20 years and met with people from overseas I thought I'd never see again.  What a great tool!  I am also closer (in Web proximity) to people who would never speak to me in a million years.  It makes me think that six degrees of separation is actually a reality.

Fall is early

The children start school on Monday.  Three of them: 3rd grade, 1st grade, and Kindergarten.  The fourth still has his hand in my shirt but I'm kicking him off to preschool in September.  Everyone I talk to (every adult) says this time goes by quickly.  I agree with that because I looked up one day and realized I hadn't bought diapers in six months.
