It's been a great three weeks of Hollywood-free TV, first with 2 amazing Michael Phelps-powered Olympic weeks, then with a great week of civic showmanship with the Democratic convention.
I find myself jumping back and forth with who I really relate to...(Glen Beck and Bill Maher equally make me fear for the future of the country...let's just hope the actual politicians never get as partisan as either of them) I am not a litmus-test kind of voter, just try to pick a stronger portfolio. So I always look forward to election season as a time to do some window shopping, take ideas for test drives, and see where I end up on election day. I found myself going back and forth until I actually walked into the voting booth in each of the last two elections. Probably will be the same with this one.
I'm intrigued with Palin as VP -- will be interesting to see how that one plays out. If the Republicans can put on a show half as polished, well-orchestrated, or moving as the dems (Ted Kennedy! Hillary! BILL! Al! Biden! Barack!) then it will be a great week of TV.

So Who'll it Be?

Summer Where are You?
As much as I love Seattle weather (no, really, I do love it! - it's so nice to be out all day long in July with the kids and not be totally heat-exhausted at 3pm or sweating all over everything you own. And it's so nice not to die of frostbite between the front door and your frozen solid car door...) man it seems like summer comes and goes so quickly here. It's all the way until June when you really feel comfortable wearing shorts 24/7, and it's now still AUGUST and it seems fall has already arrived.
The long long summer days are cool though. It's daylight from 5am until 10pm. Makes it really easy to go running at 5:30am...but this morning I walked out my door at 6am and the sun was still hiding behind the hills. Makes it a little tougher to roll out of bed when it's dark outside. When is daylight savings coming again? I'll gladly fall back to get that additional hour of light in the morning even if it means it gets dark at 4:30pm
