Originally the diary of 4 months spent in Antarctica working as a documentary film sound recordist, this blog has evolved into an online repository for the thoughts, travels and trivia of the writer Richard Fleming. For McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and polar exploration, see August through December of '06. Currently you are likely to find in these pages chronicles of my actual and literary meanderings, as well as notes on my many other passions. Also, did I mention I wrote a book?

I wish James Brown was still alive to see this...
Country, do you know Just what I mean? We just changed, we got A brand new funky President --James Brown
There are tears in my eyes two days in a row: this time yesterday I cast my first-ever vote as a citizen, and today we have the first-ever black President. How can I not weep tears of joy?

This is indeed the moment to quote the not so honorable Don King: Only in America!

Democracy still has beautiful moments to offer, no matter how much our cynical leaders of recent history have tried to trample on it.
I am happy too. Congrats to all!
Yes! "A new day in America"
