This is a photo of me on Tuesday morning. I was not thinking of jumping.
The world flies by. We forget.
I am glad, gladder than glad (Glatter than glad) that Obama will remain president for the next 4 years. But I am also almost as glad that the most cynical election in history is over. I think it speaks to a very sad time in our country. The money; the waste. Forgive us all our folly. Now let’s get Citizen’s United overturned. Power to the people.
(it is barely sunny out here. this image is bullshit, but the sentiment is not)
I’ve been having a bang-up time out here on the West Coast. Many good things. A friend we hadn’t yet met in-the-flesh came out to see us on Tuesday. Someone both Hubby and I have known only via blogging and the internet. This is the world in which we live, in which great things can happen, in which our best selves can come to light.
We did not take a photo of Katharine, as per her request, but you know she was here by the photo she took of us. We are in a cave; not an underground cave, a sea cave.
What else? Rock carvings in front of oceanfront mansions
I love this bird
it is a marbled godwit, not a whimbrel or a dowitcher, but I wonder what the birds would make of our names for them, our folly, our need

and rogue
These are my 2 songs of choice for the reelection of Obama, the same ones I listened to over and over last time around
(Sorry for the cheesy visuals on this next one. They’ve pulled all the well-recorded live versions from back in the day)
Shout it from the rooftops. GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH!!!

Had wonderful time. 😀
Also, thank you so much for respecting that I didn’t want to take a picture. I forgot to thank you guys explicitly for that.
Yeah, as jaded as I am now, I did get a little teary-eyed that Obama was re-elected. Let’s get back to grassroots, kindness-for-the-sake-of kindness mentality. That’s the only thing that will keep this country (world) afloat.
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by my blog, for commenting here and on my new Facebook page. It’s so exciting to have a new reader. I can’t get to your blog, but maybe you just have a start page of some kind? I’ll keep looking….
Yes, we need a dose of something away from cynicism. Usually I am one of the cynics! Trying to keep my head up though.
Ciao, twinkly
Twinkly, I don’t have a blog. I got back to painting and have posted some of it on my FB page. At some point I’ll have a page or blog devoted just to my creative stuff. Thanks for the interest!
P.S. I discovered your blog because my cousin’s husband “liked” it on FB and I was curious to check it out. Looking forward to more posts from you!
dmgo,
I am not sure you’ll read this still. I try to reply to each comment (I don’t get so many, you know), but I’ve fallen off for a couple of days.
I know your cousin from years ago when I lived in Kent, Ohio (for 19 years I lived there, but it has been 12 since I moved to New England).
I like the eye. It is a very good drawing. I can’t draw at all.
