‘Irreligion’ review copy arrives, and we voted today
John Allen Paulos sent me a review copy of his book, Irreligion. Thanks to Dr. Paulos and Hill & Wang (division of Farrar, Straus and Giroux) for their kindness and I’ll post a review shortly. You might be surprised at what I say. Or then, again, maybe not. Stay tuned.
Today is the Virginia presidential primary, and Debbie and I voted just a few minutes ago. Not many voters today, the poll workers said. Maybe because we’re in a very Republican area, and that contest looks settled. But, I wonder if the historic impact of voting choices today on the Democratic side has been realized. If you vote in the Democratic primary today in Virginia, you are making history regardless of your choice. A black man whose father was an immigrant, and a white woman are the primary candidates for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States of America. With all that is wrong with us, this is a very bright moment indeed. Debbie and I participated in history today, casting ballots of hope. -- Amicus Dei
