Close to the Pahk

Sorry I've been out of touch for a few days. I'm visiting the fam in Beantown. It's interesting to go to a place with something other than Smith-Merkley ads. It's all sorts of crazy here, with Kerry running for relection, the Sununu-Shaheen race in NH, and of course the headliners. But I am checking my email and received a few gems this week that I must share.

From Jill:
And from Garrison Keillor, a delightful piece shared by my buddy over at KMBBB, where you'll find a treasure trove of goodies in these last frenzied days of Indecision 2008.

Last night I went to the Democracy Center in Harvard Square with #1 daughter to see her housemates' sketch comedy routine. It was great fun watching these clever college grads put their spin on the election. Especially Ben as Sarah Palin, red jacket, black skirt, hairpiece and Keara's red stiletto heels. Ben was told that if he borrowed them, they'd better make their way back to her closet, under penalty of death. When we saw him at the show, he asked "How do you walk in these things?" He did great. I wish I had taken a picture of him, though, so I could have made him 'almost famous' on my blog. Who knew he had such great gams?

I brought my vote vest, complete with all my buttons, to wear home on the plane. I wear it every election day. So if you see a woman in a red vest, with white vote's written all over it, in Logan Airport, or Salt Lake City, during my layover, or at PDX, come up and say HI. And make sure you VOTE!
