CONGRATULATIONS

The phone rang early this morning; Geeg answered it. Based on the portion of the conversation that I heard, I determined that Sara was on the other end of the line. Towards the end of the call, Geeg congratulated her. I immediately assumed that Sara had gotten a promotion. (I knew she wasn't announcing an engagement; Geeg's feet were still on the ground.) Because I am at the center of the universe, because everything is about me, I decided that Sara's promotion meant an expensive Christmas present for me. Congratulations Sara!

In fact, Geeg congratulated Sara for successfully voting today. I'm not sure how I benefit from that, but I agree that congratulations are appropriate. It really is a big deal.


Politics aside, this is an historic vote; one that will result in the election of either an African-American president or a female vice president. We've come a long way baby, and I give credit to my generation. (I also credit my generation for creating the best music ever and developing a rebellious style of appearance and behavior that is cheerful and effective. I apologize to future generations that were left only with disco, rap, and tatoos to express themselves with. But, I digress.............)


I can't say that I am enamored with the political process. Candidates are so polished and rehearsed; it's difficult to know if you are buying the product or the packaging. Still, we do have a choice and an opportunity to make an educated decision.

So, congratulations to all of you that took advantage of this opportunity to, perhaps, change and hopefully improve the world.

Let's start this improvement by abolishing gansta rap music.

Julie - clean up your IPOD!
