Welcome to my Dock

Welcome everyone. Take a seat on the dock with me. For those that can, join with me here physically. For those that can't, imagine it. Either way, we'll kick back, toss pebbles into the water, or take a pedal boat ride while we reminisce about the old days and ways, and exchange views about the new days and ways ahead.

I'm not actually sitting on the dock at this moment, but with a future wireless connection, I soon will be. Right now I'm sitting in the loft overlooking the living room, with my attention divided between this composition and watching the Inauguration of Barack Obama. What a wonderful subject to begin a discussion about the old days and the new ones ahead. Although I did not vote for the now President Obama, I will pray for him and support him while he holds the Office.

I do find him most curious though. To have come from nowhere, so fast, to overwhelm any opposition. So, was it his his charisma? His good looks? His campain of Change? Probably a combination of it all. He certainly captured most everyone. Far more than any other newly elected President in History, at least in my times. Now I wonder, since is also half-White, had he chosen to run on a White platform, would he still have been elected by such a huge margin?

I wish President Bush the best and thank him for his service to this great country. Although he had many blunders, should we blame blame only him for where we are now? Would we perceive him in the same way if the weapons of mass destruction were found, or if the finacial crisis was delayed by a year. Was he really responsable for the lack of any subsequent terrorist attack on America? And, what was your part in where we are now? I know I had a part.

Just some thoughts from the dock.
