I can't seem to "sleep in" until 5:00 a.m. anymore. I think that my world is working against me in the sleep quest. On the bright side, however, that means I get a little more time in the morning to myself, and after whipping up my own gourmet coffee drink, I am set to go.

I wanted to comment on the (Sad) State of the Union address last night, but given I hardly heard a word of that or the response due to C's crying and whining through the entire speech, I feel exceptionally unqualified to give a dignified opinion.

The world, African-Americans and all women, lost yet another role model yesterday with the death of Coretta Scott King. As such a visible figure in the Civil Rights Movement, she was akin to Jackie Kennedy, and the legacy for which she fought so long following her husband's slaying must continue.
