Brin heads home today, which means the traditional farewell meal of...Papa John's.

Traditional dinner...is traditional.

The headline says it all:

In 1968, a white firefighter saved a black baby girl, touching the heart of a divided city. The two did not meet again. Until yesterday.

===

Personal observation:

If we have truly transcended race by electing Barack Obama President, why are we still referring to his race (as in, "the first black President")? If it doesn't matter - and it shouldn't - why keep bringing it up?

Besides, he's the same race as all of us - human.

Today's title was recorded by this guy.

You probably remember him for this song.

Shower's free, and food is on its way.

Be seeing you.
