Happy Birthday, Ginger!
Long day canvassing today. Tired but the overall experience wasn't too bad. Made some good contact with people and didn't have any really negative interactions. I'm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, too.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Wow, we had a bad day. mac got some $$ for Halloween and wanted to go buy a toy with it. Our local toy store did not have what he wanted, so I suggested going to Target. Well, Target was out also and I refused to pony up the money to buy a similar but larger version. He worked himself up over a good half an hour and then....meltdown. We went a good 2.5 months with no physical outbursts, so I guess that is still worth something, but pulling a 7 year old on the subway and bites and kicks - not a good time. big ups to Jesse for assistance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eh -- moral support only.

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!
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?

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.
