Bridging the Gap

I had a great telephone conversation with my grandmother today. She had a recent visit from her cousin in California, and expect to see him and his daughter again this year...

So what's the big deal, right?

Well... It gives me hope that the partisan gap in our country can be bridged. You see, my grandmother is a Democrat from Texas... and her cousin is a Republican from California. And if these two can come together and have a civil relationship, perhaps all is not lost.
