tonight we dance

time goes so fast. so fast, in fact, that sometimes i'm not sure i get my recommended daily dose from my minutes. some days i try harder than others to really milk each and every second. some days i don't try so much.

tonight i blasted my music and danced like a 3 year old to "dead man's party" (it is always easier to dance like a 3 year old if you follow the lead of actual 3 year olds - so i did... follow 3 year olds). my life is complex and exhausting. but now and then i get to dance with complete and wild abandon. that makes it perfect.

2008 elections

i have been really drained by this past electoral season. it's definitely been a tough one. i voted. i monitored the polls. i watched the concession speech and then I watched the acceptance speech. i thought that both men were very gracious for a change. the media commented over and over again about the historic weight of the outcome. it was a remarkable race with a momentous outcome.

now the real work begins. if Barack Obama thought campaigning was tough... i hope that John McCain meant what he said. i hope that both parties can overcome their politics and find a way to work together. i really do hope.

well, i hope. that's something, right?
