today is dr. king’s birthday. i tried to spend a few minutes with BC explaining why dr. king should be celebrated. we talked about how when i was young, there were states that didn’t want to have a day set aside to honor dr. king. and because you know that whenever i explain something, there’s usually a musical angle to it, i told her about stevie wonder writing happy birthday as a way to lobby americans to have this day. so now, we’re all dancing around the family room to steveland.

happy birthday!
