I grew up in a very mixed (non practicing) religion white family in the Boston area and was raised color blind. The shock of my upbringings collision with forced school desegregation was violent and disturbing but it never loosed my or my families grip on knowing what was right and doing it, no matter what. I was raised right.

In my wildest dreams I never imagined the day would come when our President Elect would be black. I am crying a little writing this, a few tears of relief, and joy, and hope. The United States of America just made a quantum leap forward and i am impossibly proud.

I never thought of myself as someone who would be able to pour my soul out there for all to see. Of course, before joining SG, I was never in a situation where I could blog. While I'm on the subject of SG, I want to elaborate on my last paragraph of my blog. I may have mentioned in the past that I joined SG at the urging of a friend of mine who joined as an SG Hopeful last February. Her screen name is Lyrical. She's the one with me on my profile pic. She's chosen to distance herself from me over the past month or so. I owe her a lot, as she helped me turn the corner away from the depression that I was going through after my wife's passing. I neither could nor would badmouth her to anyone at any time. I have no animosity toward her for seemingly ending our friendship, whatever her reasons might be. I just wish she would have been willing or able to tell me what those reasons are. That would have made closure much easier.

I'm glad the Sox got rid of Swisher. I had high expectations for him when he came over. From what I saw of him, he continuously kept taking pitches, many very hittable ones, and before you knew it, he had two strikes on him. It seemed that he was always looking for the walk instead of wanting to swing the bat.

I wish you success dealing with whatever is troubling you. You've made a difference with the support you've given me on a regular basis. Thank you.

I just left the following query with electric_eel also. I'm asking you in case he doesn't know.

How can the score revert to 11-10 in the Chargers-Steelers game when the extra point had been kicked? It was kicked, wasn't it? Or was it a figment of my imagination? Isn't it a fact that the previous play can no longer be reviewed after the next play (the extra point in this case) has been run?

I was watching the game while involved in something else and I had the sound off. Did I miss something?
