The Dream Is Still Alive

I was ignoring the television, playing on the computer a moment ago... and heard something that made me blink. Because of the news coverage at noon, I have had a few small epiphanies in the past few minutes.

1. Today is the Observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Day. (DH doesn't have the day off, and since I don't work, I no longer keep up with such things.)

2. The famous "I Have A Dream" speech was made 45 years ago.

3. Tomorrow, we are inaugurating the first black President.

4. The "Dream" is realized, in part.

Also on the news today at noon, Heinz is removing the pickle from its label, replacing it with a tomato. The anchor said she thought this change made sense. I think, Why? The idea of ketchup is a tomato, pickled in vinegar... right?

~~~~~~~~~~

I think too much about nothing worth dwelling on.

Have a good day!
