Why You're Here

Hi, all:

Mr. Eardley--a.k.a., Tom--suggested that we try a blog for all of us, as a form that might work even better than email for keeping in touch.  He, like many of us, got a kick out of our last discussion and wanted to try and keep the lines of communication going.  Wacky tech-loving guy that he is, he asked me what I thought.  Here you are, so there's your answer.

You all should be able to post--just go up to "New Post" in the top right of the screen.  Maybe this will work--who knows?  I'll get the ball rolling--I tried going to see Obama at AU when he and Ted Kennedy came last Monday.  We were not early enough and didn't get it.  Still, we ended up scouring campus with everyone else for a TV.  Found one in the library lobby, and watched the event with the most diverse company you can imagine--all spectrums and divisions represented.  It was a powerful moment, and it woke something like optimism in me.  I've even volunteered to do stuff for the campaign, which as all of you probably know is a first.

Obama rocks.  Thoughts?
