this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm pretty pleased about Biden (my text came at 2:47, FTR). I do think he shores up Obama on not just foreign pol but with the "white working class" voter that Clinton claimed.

Plus, he's been in Congress for as long as I've been alive, so that takes care of the "Obama doesn't have enough experience" issue. And, in fact, it also creeps into the Old White Guy demographic.

I freeze bananas when they're going black but I'm not ready to make anything with them.

Ditto. When I get enough (and some motivation) I make banana bread. Also, I really don't like mushy bananas (make me start gagging.) I like 'em when they are just shy of green, so if I don't manage to eat my 5 bananas/week, they quickly end up frozen.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And, in fact, it also creeps into the Old White Guy demographic.

DH and I were joking that McCain would have to find a young black Republican for his VP to even things out.

JC Watts? Or are there two young black republicans?

Swouncing

Turning my home computer on for the first time in forever (and in general, just logging in for the first time in almost a week of you-must-finish-grading-before-you-get-to-play), because according to Kat "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 24, 2003 3:58:47 pm PDT today is Frances's birthday.

Happy birthday, Franny! With lots of wishes for Burrell and the rest of the family as well, of course.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nilly! You survived!!

JC Watts? Or are there two young black republicans?

Heh.

I'm shoving some of the banana bread I'm making through the internet to you, Nilly. Can't you smell it?

Seriously, the apartment smells divine.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I almost choked when I saw that.

I'm reading more speculation that the text message timing was meant as a dig at the Hillary campaign. I think it's more likely that they waited as late as they could to still be the headline in the major papers.

Now tagless for your comfort.

msbelle, I met a local mom today and her son whom she adopted from Ethiopia. OMG. That little boy is SERIOUSLY CUTE.

I just made a donation to get an Obama/Biden car magnet. I was watching the speeches on the treadmill at the gym and I can officially call myself an Obamazon now.
