Watching not only the coverage last night but the commentators' reaction to the coverage. Everyone seems to think it's possible the Democrats will actually nominate a black man for President. The cynic in me keeps wondering if he'd be doing this well against a white man instead of a white woman; but the optimist reminds the cynic there used to be white men in this race, and it's the woman and the black man who survived. The cynic wonders what will happen in November when there actually IS a white man in the race, against either of them. The optimist wonders that too. But both of me are feeling a little like Charlie Brown with the football. We're pretty sure we know what's coming, but we can tell we're about to believe and go for it anyway.

sjrozan I'm a writer, at work on my 11th book. This blog is a record of random and less-random thoughts. If you want to know more about me, check my website, linked here. I also had a blog going from spring through late fall 2004 about the publishing process for my 9th book, ABSENT FRIENDS. That blog's called "Progress" and you can find the link here. I won't make any more entries but I'm leaving it up in case anyone's interested; the process is more or less the same from book to book.
