a new addition to the front yard
so i made it to the obama headquarters yesterday and picked up my yard signs, a bumper sticker and a nice blue tee. i was impressed by the racial array of supporters that i saw there. my fave was a big belt buckled white guy and his silent sidekick of a wife holding on to their obama yard signs that i encountered in the elevator. from first glance, one would expect him to be a staunch mccainer but when i asked "so, do you think he's gonna do it?" he replied, "i hope so. i've got friends who tell me to be careful cuz he's gonna take away my guns. and i say well, i'm about to sell my guns so i can eat so what does it matter!?"
today is the keeper of loads of raw emotions for me. my dad and i will see each other for the first time in 26 years this afternoon. just a few hours from now. he and my step-brother and their wives will be joining me to see THE GLASS MENAGERIE and then we will be going to dinner at houston's on the lake. so glad it is happening but nervous as many emotions and memories are racing through my mind and heart.
i know it's all good. scary but good....
