Today PhD*Son and Me*DIL celebrate their 9th wedding anniversary.
As soon as we were past the wedding, we joined the Dean campaign. Wow. Nine years...really?

Been an amazing nine years, all around. . . .
ReplyDeleteSo strange, really, watching rePublicans come apart at the seams. Not really nice people. Wonder how they're going to take losing?
ReplyDeleteProbably not well.
DeleteWell, I spent the evening setting up a cause at causes.com. Some guy whose FB friend request I'd accepted because he had an Engelbert connection and mucho mutual friends with me invited me a few days ago to join a cause that made no sense to me. It was something along the lines of "Keep Terrorists from attacking US diplomats", something like that. My reaction was, "And, how exactly is a Facebook petition supposed to do that? So, I just shrugged and moved on.
ReplyDeleteThen, he invited me to the cause "Ban Islam and Sharia Worldwide." The description claims it is meant to educate people about Islam but, with a title like that, who do they think they're kidding? Scary! So, I un-friended and blocked him and messaged folks that I know are admins of Enge groups, warning them to keep an eye on him.
Then I made my own cause. Getting it sorted out took a while, but it finally seems to have posted on my FB profile. Thanks, Puddle, for liking it. I mean, maybe they have a right to free speech, but my personal view is that hate speech doesn't deserve to be protected.
Perhaps I should have looked at today's birthdays at Library Thing a trifle earlier.

Suuuuper Tired tonight. Got up early to try and snag a ticket to see the Dalai Lama when he speaks in Vermont on October 13th. Apparently I don't have enough good karma, because the box office page kept crashing and they sold out before I could procure a ticket.
ReplyDeleteThen I took a very dear friend and her youngest to the airport so they could fly to NYC for eldest daughter's wedding this weekend. I can't wait to pick them up on Monday and hear all about it!
Then I got a haircut and went to work. If only my old tortoise pace could have been quickened by a couple of French ponies! Ha!
About to dive under the Wing. I get a four day weekend, because the Library is closed for the local, annual Harvest Market. We get paid as if the Library had been open, too! Sweet!
