I completely support beth's platform.
Here is my message to the Prez:
Please, Mr. President, make us better global citizens on as many levels as can be influenced both inside and outside the corporate cabal. And please, support more appropriate energy sources. Make your 8 years count.
Yes, many of us will be disappointed that you don't actually walk on water. But you really can make a huge difference in all our futures and I, for one, thank you for at least trying to swim against the evil/greed tide.
God bless you for the sacrifices you will have to make to live in this role. Those of us whose hope has been so badly bruised as to have grown over with scar tissue, thank you.
ok - here is a clip where you can at least see what Tony looks like: [link]
I run into someone I know pretty much everywhere.
An old boyfriend moved to China to teach English. He went on holiday to Bangkok and passed a fellow with a nod and a hey...took two or three steps and did a neck-cracking double take. He just happened to bump into a high school friend. In Bangkok.
Whee. Just got a call from Taylor's dad. They'd been to the store to stock up on nibblies for the trip (uh, I suck. I didn't. I'm just gonna shove some bananas and granola and cheese into ziplocs!) God, please let us get there in time to at least hear it.
Sigh. I wish I would be able to do a watch and post inauguration with y'all, but I'll be in training all day. But I am excited, and I have the TiVo recording on two channels, and he's not even my president.
Now...bakc to reading about program evaluation. Blah.
lisah, you doing the Union Station/walk through the tunnel path? Just curious. Other than it being easiest coming off the redline (don't want to deal with transfers) I geekily LOVE the idea of walking that tunnel I've driven so often.
yay, I found a download for yesterday's concert.
I accidentally said "fuck" in front of the daughter of my associate Dean who is helping me in the costume shop. Not even in a I stubbed my toe kind of way, but in a Oh, yeah, that is fucked up kind o way. I was trying so hard, too! She is 17 and a junior in high school-- she isn't going to be scandalized and tell her mom-- I hope!
Weird dog behavior:
Mona did wonderfully on her first day, no accidents in the house, and very happy and waggy-tailed. When I left this morning, I had given her a treat, hoping that she would be distracted by the yummy.
But when Kristen came home, after Mona greeted her, Mona ran and grabbed the treat I had given her and happily ate it. She had squirreled it away.
I mean, she has a whole bowl of food that she likes and eats, and it was still full. Why save the treat?
17 and a junior is what my son is. Trust me, she's heard it plenty.
