Gratitude, parties

1. Thank you to God and all who help me get through a day
2. Gratitude for an interesting Democratic convention so far
3. Gratitude for hopes for a good party for Rick, good block party, and good Obama party
4. Grateful I can include Politics and the English language in this blog - placing unrelated items together in my blog (and my mind) -

The Democratic convention so far is very interesting. The first night included speeches from Nancy Pelosi, Caroline Kennedy, Ted Kennedy (with a beautiful movie before), Jesse Jackson Junior, Michelle Obama (with a movie before that showed her life story), Michelle's brother, Barak's sister (a teacher and wonderful speaker), Clare McCaskill (Missouri, talking about various American life stories). That is the order I remember the speeches but that is not the order they actually appeared.

What stuck with me is the idea that it is time to pass the torch to a new generation, Ted Kennedy's statement. Caroline Kennedy, Jesse Jackson Junior, and the Obamas - you could say it is time to pass the torch to them. They are certainly worthy and will do I think a most wonderful job with the torch. I am hoping it is time to have universal health care coverage. I have trouble believing we do not have it already.

I am working on an invitation or e-vitation to Rick's party. We were lucky enough to get invited to a block party and Obama party. Living the party life - well, it could be worse! :-)

Fun! Food!

P.S. Bringing a roll of pennies (or even an interval of 60 pennies) will make Rick very happy. :-)
