So here's the short of it, 
I'm listening to President Obama tonight. 

And here's the long.

I'm listening to my President tonight and some of my family is boycotting his State of the Union address.

I wonder how I was raised in my family in the place and time I was and came to such a different place politically than my parents and siblings.

I don't know how that happened.  How they got there and I got here.   I love them all very much, but we see the world in such a different way.   It's so strange to me.

However it happened, it's good we can embrace one another as family and set aside our political differences.

I love you all.
