What a day - I will get back to that in a minute... I woke up this morning reflecting on last night and was struck by the wonderful behavior of the Obama children. When Sasha welcomed the family with whom Barack was watching the convention in KC it spoke volumes of her upbringing, of the values that Michelle and Barack have instilled in their children. Think about the message that sends. Think about the example it sets for our country. Isn't it great to have a national leader of whom we can be proud?
Now back to today... I am really enjoying driving into Denver and bicycling around the city. Freewheelin' knows me now - I am their favorite customer at one particular station. I also realize that I go out of my way to get into relationship with anyone in uniform - I talk to them, inquire as to how they are, and appreciate them. And I get the same respect and appreciation from them. We had some incredible panels today at the SeaChange Ideas Forum. My favorite was one called United We Vote - you may be able to see some of the webcasts at http://www.starzgreenroom.com/#/video/
Again the energy here is unbelievable. I think my favorite speech was Brian Schweitzer's - I loved it! I also think that Hillary did what was needed and I am proud of her for doing that. But perhaps the most compelling comment came from Mark Warner when he said that what we can count on Barack for is to make 'our common ground our sacred ground.' It is about our humanity - our connection as people - that transcends those differences and offer the hope of the change we can believe.
Sleep well,
