There isn't any good news at the moment except, a possible end to the Iran conflict.

All the items mentioned above are worthy but not internationally, or even nationally signifcant.

I heard Michelle Obama on the radio.
It was a lovely speech, well delivered.
I will see if I can find this on "catch-up" somewhere.

Hard to believe that in a few short years the change at the top of American politics is so enormous.

I heard about this Macaydia. It's a comforting reminder that the USA wasn't always mad, and gives you hope that the nation might return to days of grace and diplomacy.

Did anyone else watch the grand opening of the Obama Presidential Center Museum? I have only gotten through the first part where Michelle introduces the honorable former US President and I saw him wiping some tears during her speech. I cant wait to watch the rest. Great entertainment, good musicians and no bloody fighting. I even like the architecture (art) of the building. Anyone else watching?
