Day 3 is over.  Can I be hopeful now?  The parade of veterans: the first African American Sergeant Major, a retired Admiral, a retired general and Tammy Duckworth.  Joe Biden – and the clear endorsement of a former President who has been there.   In my mind, Bill Clinton has redeemed himself and reminded me why I campaigned and voted for him.

It is really hard to take in the fact that we have nominated a mixed heritage, African American to be President.  I was 16 and sitting with my feet in the reflecting pool when I heard Martin Luther King (to be honest I was move impressed that day by John Lewis) talk about his dream.  And now it is coming true.

Life is good – and the Red Sox beat the Yankees.
