In no particular order

Stephanie -- I discovered the delightful blog of this girl through the delightful blogs of her siblings, and then I discovered that she is my brother-in-law's sister-in-law and we have two nieces and two nephews in common. And if that weren't enough of a connection, she's also best friends with an entirely different brother-in-law's sister-in-law. Whew! And then she moved to Arizona and every few months I have the delightful privilege of getting to hang out with her in person. Delightful.

Pepper -- Miss Pepper is one of my spicier friends. We were roommates in college and connivingly figured out a way to move to a new apartment, still live together, and ditch a few of our other roommates who were dragging us down. Rude or prudent? You decide. Pepper and I were bridesmaids in each other's weddings. She is a generous, kind soul and an especially gifted hostess.

Carina, aka Azucar -- She's smart, she's sassy, she's intimidating, she's talented, she's passionate; she knows everyone, including everyone I ever met who is from Provo. She promised to make me a CD of new music to expand my horizons, and she hasn't sent it yet, but it's okay because she has a new baby. I'll meet her in person one day, I will.

Stay tuned.

Ahhh, I have compiled it but have been too much of a hermit to send it. I repent!

And, YOU are too sweet.

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t
