Water Ice Follow-up

Again, for folks who don't know water ice, there's a definition as a sub-section of the larger "italian ice" entry in Wikipedia.

Joy!

Pure, unadulterated, that's what Joseph and I felt as we pulled off the road at the Rita's Water Ice we had just discovered exists not too far from where I live in New Haven. Just up the road in Branford they serve the Philly classic, a staple of our lives all through growing up, and I found it just as the water ice season (spring through fall) is starting!!!

My buddy Joseph was in CT for a weekend visit, and Rita's was perhaps the gleaming pinnacle of our weekend wanderings. That said, it was an all around great couple of days.

For anyone who hasn't sampled water ice or wonders what that is, you should find a Rita's near you.

Senate Majority Leader Clinton?

I came across a post on MyDD.com today that struck me as very very interesting, and a new entry into the larger debate about where the Democratic party goes from here. I would love to hear what other folks think about this and I am hopeful that this represents a new phase in developing the larger conversation where people start rolling out various creative possibilities that stand some chance of offering the two contenders for the nomination a win-win resolution.
