Transition

Now that we've won the White House and have had our days of euphoria, let's look at what else happened lately: Our local candidates scored well but did not get elected here in this red county (we will win someday). My friends, Democrats Sam Bennett and Joanne Tosti-Vasey lost their challenges to incumbents. We lost Catherine Baker Knoll to cancer. We still have an economy in free fall. We're still stuck in Iraq. Millions go without healthcare here in the US. The world is still getting warmer.

There is much work to be done to win future races, to live up to the expectations CBK had for women in Government, and to solve the huge problems facing our society and our world.

For the moment, however, I have turned back to a book I've been working on - DEAR COACH: Letters Home from WW II. More about that in future posts.
