Pumpkin time!
A emissary for the prankster came by to collect two pumpkins – supposedly this mule was paid $50. I said take more! But she said $50 only buys two.

Always a godmother, never a mother
We have high hopes to expand our little family here at the LaLa and as I was thinking of all the things that I want my future to hold, a child calling me Mom is tops on the list.

God Bless America
Last night, five women sat in my living room listening to Obama’s thirty minute recap of what he is going to do as president. Yes, some of it was rehashed, but still, I had goosebumps thinking we will finally have a president that we deserve. I haven’t felt this way since Jimmy Carter. Okay, say what you will about Carter – there was no president who cared deeper about this country and its collective soul…

For those who have less than we do
I was speaking to a friend in San Francisco about her musical prodigy cousin who had been taken under Leonard Bernstein’s wing. He grew up in the projects down the street from where I lived on Mason Street. I insensitively said, how could your aunt have lived there?

Obama – mania
Friends stopped by for cocktails last night to introduce me to their parents. The best news of the visit was the parents, who voted for Bush four years ago, have decided to cast their vote for Obama! Can I get an AMEN.

Ain’t it funny, how times goes by
T said she read that people who are in love or very happy experience time at warp speed. That must explain this sudden feeling as if the earth is spinning at a 1.5x revolution and why the onset of winter, with shorter days, causes me some warm fuzzy feelings mixed with cold steel apprehension. Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m still packing in the experiences and adventures as much as I can, but good golly,…
