Thanks for Dropping by
This is a new universe for me - this blog world. But lately, I've felt the need to make my voice heard and so, for now I'll be commenting on the current campaign. Perhaps later I can talk a bit about salsa, and jazz and all the other things that interest me, like my garden and goats, books, and hobbies but that will have to wait.
My other website is devoted to my family historical and genealogical research

I'm focused on Barak Obama right now, and hope you'll join me in supporting him.

This is a great video. I subscribed to your blog because of your awesome "Anthropologists for Obama". You rock.
Thank you Dianamarie,
I'm just learning how to put up a blog. Was totally surprised to find that you found it.
I got a great bumper sticker from Cafe Press, that says "Anthropologists for Obama"
My car is wearing it proudly.
I watched the video from your Talking Points site. Having been involved with Obama's campaign from the very beginning, I have to say this was as an impressive instalment as I've seen. It explains just why the Obama movement is so powerful. He touches something in every one of us, but especially something in the kids, and especially he touches something in the people who don't "look like us."
Every time something idiotic happens, I tell my friends, "It'll get better when Obama's elected." And I mean it.
We haven't had any contact for a very long time. I'm still fighting the good fight. Yes. I. Am. Please find me at www.xanga.com/twoberry. Thanks, Denise.
