Ah, the Convention!

Long it has been since I've last felt so inspired, so racked by warm fuzzy happies as I have been watching the Democratic convention.

Obama...simply amazing. 

Chris Heinz - my hometown boy!!  He grew up in Fox Chapel, where many of my family still lives, where my Grandfather is buried.  The Heinz estate was on my dad's paper route back in the fifties, and they used to give my grandfather a bottle of scotch at Christmastime as a thank you for the handyman work he used to perform for them. 

And Philip, it's not necessary to expound on this, but it floors me that people would attempt to, in good conscience, argue with the ideals expressed at the Convention.  Tucker Carlson looked like a complete ass when he tried to do so...even his bow tie lost quite a bit of its appeal, in my estimation.
