Brooklyn Signage

I got to check out the Brooklyn Storefront Exhibit at Brooklyn Historical Society right before it closed - and was left much more educated about our little borough. The stories that go with the beautiful pictures (by James and Karla Murray) were all so heart warming and made me want to go out of my way to keep the buck in Brooklyn.

One nation under Obama


I've been very upset that I couldn't accompany Jelsen to DC and witness this historic event with the hundreds of thousands that are there, but I am glad at least one of us got to experience it and will live to tell our kids about it.

Then again...I think I had a pretty good seat watching the event front and center on BBC. I got chills, I cried a little and at the end - I celebrated with bubbles.

Congratulations, America. Today you are once again "the great".
