About the blog
“I am a writer/educator caught up in a whirlwind of activity, forced to pick and choose moments for reflection. The election of Barack Obama as the President of the United States – two years prior, an improbable fantasy for most – is one to tell the grandchildren about. This blog began as my attempt to capture some of the stories and underlying thoughts, in great anticipation of the moment that destiny brought. Now, it is a space for introspection and critique as I live and breathe the new American dream.” — Brian Peterson.
