Look around. I do.\u00a0 I am pleased with the social conscience rising.\u00a0It’s a slow crawl, but that’s the way it works.\u00a0People are getting wiser.\u00a0 We are evolving.\u00a0 It makes me happy.<\/p>\n

Roger and I at the Arsht Performing Arts Center<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

My business partner, Roger, came with me as we hoofed it from his home nearby.\u00a0 At first we were denied entrance because we never made a reservation, and told to go around where we could wait, but someone from a radio station (he never identified himself or the station) pulled me to the side and gave me two vouchers to get wisked right in.\u00a0 Thank you, whoever you are.\u00a0 The Arsht Center is so beautiful.\u00a0 What a wonderful place to start the new year with the new administration.\u00a0 The staff at the Arsht were also very pleasant and seemed happy to be there keeping the place organized.\u00a0 I will be back there to see one of the concerts they have lined up this fall.\u00a0 It looks like a pretty impressive schedule.<\/p><\/div>\n

I wish Barack Obama well in his quest to fix this country as our newly elected President.\u00a0 It’s probably the toughest job in the world right now.<\/p>\n

Good Luck, Mr President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
