"The Torch is Being Passed"

  Since I believe in lifetime learning, I may, in my late fifties, finally obtain the law degree I originally set out to get in my early twenties.

  Why not?

  As the little boy says in the movie, "Angels in the Outfield;" "It could happen!"

  I choose optimism and faith over pessimism and doubt. I may be, as in the song from "South Pacific", a "co*k-eyed optimist," but I'll likely remain so all my life.

  So I keep a flame burning inside my heart and soul - as I hope - so also do you!

  Yes, the eternal flame of liberty and promise of freedom is being passed.

  What say we pass this torch to Barack and Joe?!
