Obama Leans in for a Hug


Here is my good friend, Lynn Straus, posing with Barack Obama in Chicago. Thanks to Lynn's tireless efforts -- and so many people like her -- we've got a good man in the White House, and a chance for significant change.

Dear Renee
Huhu, how I envy you Lynn. Wish I was there.
My girl, a sophomore at University of Chicago, was at Grant Park when Obama made his victory speech.
I shed tears of happiness that she's a part of history.
And poor me was just watching CNN live from Chicago in Malaysia.
By the way do you have the book Texasville. I need it to complete the trilogy.
Scoured the bookstores here but cant seem to find it.
Cheers

Look for Texasville at www.abebooks.com. You may buy it there for as little as $1 (U.S.). Not sure how much shipping will be, but I once ordered a book from the U.K. on abebooks, and shipping was around $14, if I recollect.

Thanks for reading the blog!
