Delicious Surprise (I Believe It)

OK, so I am going to title my blogs after songs--deal with it. The delicious surprise of today was Sarah Palin becoming the VP candidate with John McCain. Now, I don't know if you realize this, but I trend Republican while 99% of my friends lean heavily to the Democratic ticket, that's America! I like McCain because he has crossed the isle on many things, steering away from the scary right wing. Campaign finance reform, global warming and immigration reform just name a few. I am tired of grid lock and want to see some practical changes in Washington, and was worried about who McCain would pick.

I have read up on Palin, and I am fascinated to say the least. She is a tough woman who took on the corrupt Republican establishment in her state and truly brings an aura of reform to the ticket. I am anxious to see what happens next week. This truly will be an extraordinary election.

We'll see what happens.....


(Delicious Surprise..I Believe It is a Jo Dee Messina song. I saw her for free at Churchill Downs years ago. It was a good show!)

August and everything after...

It's August, so the title fits. It also happens to be the title of the Counting Crows first album, back in 1993. I went to their concert--they opened up for Cracker at the Brewery in Louisville. I am pretty sure it was Louisville's first official mosh pit concert, because they were serving beer in bottles--big mistake. The power went out during the show--but all in all it was pretty good.

I have never written a blog before, but am hoping to track my thoughts and share them with anyone who wants to read. Thoughts from what's going on in the world, to what is going on in our own back yards. We will see what happens...
