Today's weather in St. Peters: Blustery, overcast, high 50 degrees. A definite change from earlier in the week.
While this site isn't intended for political discussion, I can't close out the week without mentioning the monumental and historic change we witnessed in the United States on Tuesday, November 4, when a majority of U.S. citizens elected Barack Obama our first African-American president. No matter how we voted or our party affiliation, I think we all can embrace our nation's democratic process.
This week also marked the passing of two famous and critically acclaimed authors--Studs Turkel and Michael Crichton. While their passing isn't anywhere near on the scale of this week's historic election, as a writer and reader who has enjoyed some of their works, I thought I would mention them too.
So, let's raise our glasses, cans, coffee mugs, or tea cups in salute of our great nation and great writers.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Next week, I plan to share some ideas and experiences about critique groups.
