I'm hoping to make Ohio my last.

Party On the Left

I love it when I go to a birthday party for one of Skylar's friends and can spend almost the entire three hours talking leftist politics with a variety of people, some American and some not, some academics and some not. It restores some of my hope for the future. I felt so comfortable that I didn't find it necessary to snap a single photo!
