SOTU

Tonight is the State of the Union Address. In college, we used to have big SOTU-watching parties with much argument, fervor, and shaking fists emphatically at GWB. I've never felt more engaged in something bigger than myself than when I was in college.

Tonight, Brianna, Addie, and a new great person in my life are coming over to watch the SOTU with Johan and me. It feels extraordinary to again feel surrounded by people who are engaged and who care about important things. You know, important things like healthcare reform, war, civil rights, and panini sandwiches.

And yes, I know this is the first time I've written in 2 months. Sorry, Emily Cooney. I'll be back again soon.
