Sad news today of the death of Senator Edward Kennedy. Who would have ever thought that this would be the Kennedy who would be the one who made the greatest difference in this country? As much as some loved to take him to task as being too liberal, he was able to affect legislation, possibly as much as any other single legislator. And was, perhaps and unfortunately, he will be known as the last bridge-builder and compromise-maker in government today. Legislators are more interested in being "right" and uncompromising, than in getting things done. His death does seem to mark the end of an era.

It was a long busy day for us. We volunteered at the Friends of the Library semiannual book sale this afternoon. It's not hard - just long. It's great to see folks still buying books and reading. And bringing kids in to buy sacks full of books. We'll work again on Saturday afternoon. We finished up the day with dinner at our favorite neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant.
