Apologies to Miz Pink, but I have to hijack my blog back for just a second before I go back on my blogging “vacation.” My congratulations to Barack Obama, his family and his supporters for locking up the nomination for Democratic presidential candidate. This is truly a historic moment in this nation, and it gives me some small hope that we might begin to make some real bridges over the racial divide before my daughter becomes an adult in about 15 years. About damn time!
