Almost, but not quite

Barack Obama is speaking at a venue about two blocks from here. In like 10 minutes.

And it's too late for me to make arrangements to get away to go see him.

Arrrrrrgh...

Hillary Clinton will be here later this month and S and I are already plotting. It would be great to see the triumvirate. So hopefully he'll be back. Like S said when I expressed my regrets, it's a long campaign cycle.

RIP Madeleine L'Engle

She passed away yesterday, but it was only announced today. The Wrinkle in Time trilogy, especially A Swiftly Tilting Planet were among my favorite books as a teen. I reread them recently and was pleased at how well they hold up.

My childhood is slowly disappearing around me. :-/ Makes me wonder who will be next.
