"Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., began a long-shot bid for president on Saturday, hoping his reputation as a favorite son of the religious right can help him outdistance better known rivals.

"My family and I are taking the first steps on the yellow brick road to the White House," Brownback said ..."

Feeling rather like a Dutch-speaking Belgian.

A little phlegmish.

But otherwise, completely over the flu. Got a good night's sleep, got up early this morning and promptly went back to bed and slept a few more hours. Now I'm ready to go out and get a little exercise.

The weather in Portland is milder now, and the snow is gone, so I should have pleasant running this week.

Greenberg tomorrow.

I'm going to attend a local appearance by Rabbi Steven Greenberg tomorrow. Greenberg is the only "out" gay orthodox rabbi. He will also be speaking at Portland State University later in the week (after a couple of reschedulings on account of weather); tomorrow's talk will be a private event hosted by the local gay-Jewish group. Hope to make it to the second event as well. Should be very interesting.

Welcome back ...
