This is IL Senator Barack Obama, a reason to be hopeful. I'd like to meet him someday. When I move to the Windy City I will be tracking him down. He spoke yesterday and gave much needed vocals towards SUV/gas usage, government integrity, how the U.S. should be working towards self-sustainability (if Brazil can do it, then we should too, sorta thing), and parental involvement in education. How could you not love him?

Coll, the Franimal and I also went to the Cinco de mayo parade on 24th; I secretly wish I was Hispanic. There were Stompers and Steppers, precious babes, tall glasses of water, running (literally) candidates, cowboys standing on horses, souped up cars, reggaeton, Frida tanks and a mechanical bull (which this guera rode). Who woulda thought?

It was an excellent and exhausting day.
