Today, the flag goes back to the top of the mast.

Today, I stop mourning the loss of perhaps our greatest president ever.

Today, because my reach exceeds my grasp, because I am a parent and because the world in which my child lives is important to me, I’ve had enough. I will get off my halfmoons and spend some time doing something to change my world. I will not let the “Nation of Nannies” ratchet back the freedoms so dearly won by the fathers of this, the greatest nation on earth. I may not be capable of very much. I may not succeed. I WILL try.
