A moment of reflection on my vote

At 6:58 pm today, I proudly cast my vote for a black man to be President of the United States of America, an opportunity that - even just a two years ago - I never thought I would have.

I have obviously been very much looking forward to this vote, if just for the historic aspect (though there was definitely more to my excitement than that).

Usher's interview about fatherhood in Essence

Usher sat down with actor and author Hill Harper to talk about the ups and downs of being married, the choices he's made, putting God first, and his ultimate purpose: being the best father he can be to his baby boy, Usher Raymond V.

HILL HARPER: In the last year, you got married and you've had a baby. Which has changed you more?

USHER: They're both linked—I can't have one without the other. But the one thing that changed me the most is having a wife. Our child is an extension of that union.

Thanks for the comment about the DFD Group Meeting this month. I had mentioned having the meeting this month at the IndyDads Office to Eric, but didn't hear back before needing to post the event. I'll change the event location and run future meeting dates by you to verify availability.

At 9:00pm on February 11, 2009, Matt Zentz said…: Chris, I tried to contact you through your dadsinc.org email address and it got bounced back. Basically, I like the mission of Dads Inc and am interested in learning more to see if I might be able to lend my time and help.

At 11:48pm on July 1, 2008, Shawn Plew said…: We're in Emerson Trace, which is just south of Wildcat Run. New Bethel is niiice. Great-looking homes and still pretty reasonable. It'll be one place I look when we start house hunting (building?) in the fall.
