Happy Birthday Ginger!

I'm spending this weekend in Carrboro/Chapel Hill, and it's lovely! I got to see Amyth, listen to Billy Bragg at an early voting concert, ramble around town, and get my plants ready for winter. I canvassed in Durham last night, and I have next Tuesday off for whatever the Obama team needs me for, but tomorrow's all about unstructured time.

Happy Birthday Ginger!!

Cashmere, you killed me ded in fbook. I'm so psyched you're out canvassing.

Happy Birthday Ginger!

I slept in waaay late and then went to the library and browsed through a fun book about horse racing in America where I discovered the interesting fact that the man who bred Domino was named Barak. I wonder if it was a family name - like Almanzo Wilder's . .. what is the likelihood that he was Islamic?

Oh, dcp, that is a GORGEOUS kid!

Thanks, Sox. I've been more excited this election than I have in a looooong time. So that helps. And the fact that I feel confident enough now to talk to strangers. It takes an awful lot for me to go out knocking on doors, I tell you!

I think I hit a skunk with my minivan on the way back from the grocery store. I had to park the van outside because I could smell it from inside the house!

I'm sorry for your loss, Aimee.

{{{Aimee}}} I'm so sorry.

It's also a biblical name. He was a general in the book of Judges, fighting against Sisera. (It means "lightning" in Hebrew. Same-sounding word means "blessed" in Arabic.)
