The Arc of History is Long, but it Bends Toward Justice
President Barack Obama. Those words were presaged four years ago when I met Barack Obama in person in Philadelphia. I captioned the photo below with a story of something that happened that took our breath away then:
He just leaned down because a woman asked him to “sign my baby.” She said, “I want her to meet the first black president of the United States.”
And here’s a picture of Sarah, back in the wayback machine from four years ago with the future President of the United States.
Oh, the title? It’s by Dr. Martin Luther King, and they were the first words I heard Barack Obama say when I saw him for the first time in person.

Hi, it's me, the guy whose name is at the top of the page. I'm the grinning dude in the middle of many of these pictures. Those are my boys Dan, Matt, and Steve. They're taller than me now, and take every chance to show me. What can I say? I'm shrinking. Sheryl puts up with all of us. She's been known to say "Boys!" from time to time.-
