Dear Marianne

Sorry if I haven’t responded before. I am so sorry to read about Tom’s death and am honored to read a bit about him in your journal. You have honored him by remembering. May his memory be a blessing to all.

Comment on Hillary, give it up by Leslie What

I am looking at my mail in ballot and having a hard time deciding. I like Hillary and I like Obama. And in the race against Gordon Smith I like Steve Novick and I like Jeff Merkley. (I also like Gordon Smith) I don’t see Hilary as evil, more like all the professional women I’ve know who’ve had to work within systems to get where they deserve to be. Politics is a system. We may need to do more than elect one outsider to get the change we are looking for. But maybe sending a message is all we can do and it’s certainly a safe way to let our reps know we are unhappy with the status quo.

The main reason for making up my mind quickly is so the pollsters will see I’ve voted and can stop calling.

Phil, your book was very uncomfortable when I was resting in it. . .;^}

Our weather has been so crappy that there’s very little going on here except me being grumpy. But spring will come soon, I know, I know. . .

Thanks, Nathan. I need a vacation about now, but it’s probably months away unless Ben buys the new car he’s talking about, which almost guarantees a trip somewhere. . .

I know what you do when not online - gardening, cooking, poetry, being an all round good egg, pillar of the community and all. Inertia can hardly get a look in.

You were resting in my book, that’s all.

Inertia? I was assuming you went on a fabulous vacation away from the net!

Welcome back online,

Nathan

Thanks, Phil. I admit I’ve been a slug. Inertia is hard to oversome, but I’ll try to do better. . .Hugs.

It’s good to hear from you.

Comment on Holy crap! In praise of White Lily flour by Marianne....another one

I just ordered White Lily from the Smuckers online store. You have to buy at least in packs of 2, but you can choose whatever product you want for the pack.

Yup!

That kind of reform is what Nader will continue to bring about. That’s why he’s running…
