You know what makes me feel good.... [View All]

When I was growing up I never paid much attention to whoever was president. I would hear them rambling on TV and keep it moving. I didn't really start to take notice until my early 20's.

I love when my 15yr old knows that the President is going to be on tv...not during a speech but for something else, and he runs to see him. He came upstairs just to see the pitch at the game tonight. He gave a quick smile and said, "Prez Obama has mad swagger" and walked back downstairs. I love that he pays even the smallest amount of attention, and I think it's cool he has two Obama posters on his wall.


My family is in a totally new place and my son is the only black kid around. Sometimes I worry he's losing himself in the crowd, or not getting enough of his own history, but little moments like that remind me that he is paying attention.

sorry....I think I'm rambling...
