Last week’s darkness is gone. I woke up yesterday morning feeling mighty fine. The weekend has been spectacular – being chased by the littlest munchkin in the park, rolling around on the floor with the wee little man, eating too much food, getting ready for my trip to Uganda – more on that this week,…

I just don’t know who to endorse. Two big endorsements/threats have been announced this weekend and I am deeply conflicted. Ethel Kennedy says Barack is like Bobby. How can I say no to that? I’m an RFK guy. That kind of endorsement just isn’t fair for someone like me. Then Ann Coulter says that if…

A friend – a dear, wonderful friend – gave me an autographed copy of Bono: in conversation with Michka Assayas a few years ago. I gave it a very quick read and put it on my list of books that I was going to really, really read. Last night I glanced at my huge stack…

Thank you for your prayers and kind notes yesterday. Ick of a day. Lying here in this little hotel room, however, I did have the advantage of in-room movies. Why, exactly, one can get movies in your hotel room months before you can get them at the video store/netflix/pay-per-view is beyond me. In any event,…

Ethel Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy’s widow has released a statement endorsing Barack Obama. Over these past few years, I’ve watched Senator Obama inspire Americans from all walks of life to believe in real change and a new sense of hope and possibility. He’s a magnetic force, drawing the nation together for the common good and…

So this last week was a hard one. I started by 15th (?!?) round of chemo a week ago yesterday, finished it this past Tuesday and have been pretty much laid out since Monday. It isn’t that I’ve been sick – we seem to have gotten control of that part of things… thankfully. It is…

Matt Cooper has a slightly more even handed look at the Edwards candidacy than the one I wrote yesterday – perhaps I should refrain from writing anything on the day after my last chemo dose. Then again, Matt doesn’t actually mention poverty so I give him one demerit.

My buddy Spence Smith travels a lot. He works for Compassion International – more on them later – and is known to take one day trips to places like Equador or Fiji or Mali. Ok, not really Fiji. Anyway, he has a great link on his site for what to do if you are stranded…

I heard something this morning I’d never heard before. A person saying they are so angry about the sexist attacks against Hillary Clinton that they would vote for a Republican before they would vote for Barack Obama. Extraordinary. I am not an expert in either racism or sexism. What I do know, however, is that…

Fantastic quote: “Joy is the hardest thing, always, for any artist, for any writer, for any photographer,” Bono says. “It’s the hardest thing to capture because it’s impossible to contrive, whereas despair — you can have a good go at despair.”
