I am really liking American Prayer, the song by Dave Stewart that is loosely about Barack, and which also contains some background of MLK’s I Have a Dream speech. The lines below particularly moved me today:

When you get to the top of the mountain,
Will you tell me what you see?
When you get to the top of the mountain,
Remember me.

Also just remembered a funny moment from this summer. Was at BB&N camp waiting for the doors to open (always, reliably, early) and Jodi, Samantha, and John arrived. Samantha and John were on bikes and Jodi was running, heading off to a longer run after drop off. I noticed she did not have an ipod or any music.

“Jodi, how can you run without music?”
“Oh, Lindsey, there are enough voices in my head to keep me company.”
“I know! That’s why I need music: to drown the voices out.”
