Think face
I had to use my think face a lot today. I am glad to report that with enough effort I can recall what I learned in college and help Scott. I am useless when it comes to logs and he knows it, so he didn't ask for any help with the last unit. Now he is on to solving systems of equations...which is fun in a sick sort of way. It always brings a little zing of happiness when I can help him with a problem and get the answer right! I tutor basic math at work every day, but it's fun to work on stuff that is a little more challenging. There you have it...I am a certified dork.

Hope
Yes We Can!
What a glorious day this is! We have come from a racially divided country, to electing a black man as president. I cried. I know I'm old, but many of the changes we have made have come during my lifetime. I cried. I have so much hope for the future of this great nation. I feel like we can come together to solve some of the issues I feel threaten our future. I have hope, great hope. We can work to help those in our country who are least capable of helping themselves. We can work to make a cleaner healthier environment for our children and grandchildren. We can embrace diversity. I cried last night and I am crying now. Tears of joy, because I have hope.
