I am grateful to Dr. King for many, many things.
I am also grateful for my new employer because they give employees the day off. This is the first employer I've worked for that honors this day.
So Happy Birthday to the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
It is, indeed, a happy day. I wish Dr. King would have been able to see the historic even that happens tomorrow. The realization of much of his dream.
2009 is filled with lots of possibilities. And that's the first time I've felt that way in a long time.
