Listen up people!
I grew up in North Carolina. To me, it will always feel like home. And today, I’m not the only one with Carolina in my mind. In fact, the whole country is looking to our state to make the difference.
There’s something different in the air this year. I’ve sensed it in the crowds I’ve played to, and seen it in the eyes of folks I’ve talked with. North Carolinians are hungry for a change. And for the first time in a generation, the presidential race could go either way in this state — it’s all up to us.
That’s why this week I’m doing my part by traveling around the state I love, using my voice to tell everyone I can reach that it’s time to vote for change.
And now I’m asking you to do your bit. Find a Campaign for Change office near you and volunteer to talk to voters. The Obama campaign has a plan to win North Carolina, but they need 100,000 volunteer hours to pull it off. I’m going to give as many as I can, and I hope you’ll join me.
We all know that we have some serious challenges to solve: The economy is in rough shape, jobs are disappearing, and quality, affordable health care is out of reach for far too many.
Across the country, folks are realizing that the only way to really tackle these challenges is to work together. If we let ourselves be divided by party, race, or fear, we’ll fail. And the stakes are just too high to let that happen.
This spirit of unity and purpose is what Barack Obama’s campaign is all about, and it’s why I’m a proud supporter.
But proud support is not enough right now. We have to get out there, tell folks they can start voting today, and make sure they do. So please, sign up to join me and volunteer as much as you can this week:

Together you and I, and the great state of North Carolina, are going to put our country back on the right track.
Thank you,
James Taylor

The world got a little emptier today. The Brown Dog passed away this afternoon at NC State Vet school. They did everything they could, but Sam was just to sick to fight anymore. We will miss her, so much and she wasn’t even our dog. Our thoughts are with you, Summer.

Cristobal came and went with a puff of a breeze and a sprinkling of rain. What a rip off. We’ve been hoping for a storm around here for months because we desperately need the rain. After watching two form out in the Atlantic and then watching them pass no where near land, we got all excited that we’d grown our own just off the coast of Georgia. I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.
We’re left with heat indexes over a hundred and lots of dry grass. You know what you do when you’re two and faced with heat like this? Why take off all of your clothes and spray things with the hose, of course.

We had a fantastic Fourth of July with the boys. We spent the day at Andy’s Dad’s and my Mom and Rob came by for some pool time and burgers. Ollie and Emmett are both finally rising to the task of swimming. My Mom had a stroke of genius and bought several pairs of “swimmies” for the boys’ arms. I don’t know why I hadn’t tried them, yet. Anyway, we blew them up and both boys took right off. Ollie can just barely touch the bottom of the little pool, but Em would be over his head. Emmett can make it across the pool with just his swimmies, but prefers to be in a ring. He kicks his little feet and just goes and goes. I’m so proud of both of them.
