Your turn

Coolest thing ever

The Oxford Project

Read more about it here.

I got goosebumps reading about this and felt very moved for some reason.  Maybe I am missing the feeling of a small town?  It's just the idea of that snapshot of two moments in time separated by many years, twists and turns, the expected and the unexpected...wow.

I imagine a few of my loved ones who might appreciate this like I do may find a copy of the book under the Christmas tree this year.

(Speaking of Christmas gift books, this was last year's:  My Last Supper: 50 Great Chefs and Their Final Meals.  Very fun and beautiful photography).

Something to talk about

This is as important an issue, if not more important, as anything else in this election, in that it could have a much longer lasting/far reaching impact on the politics/policies of this country, in fact for the rest of my adult life.  From CNN.com:

Election could decide future of the federal courts

"The future occupant of the White House could have the opportunity to name perhaps three or four justices, which could either solidify an ideologically split bench or dramatically move it further right."

I can only hope that this is talked about more leading up to November 4.
